Description
Description | Australian company Hyperion Systems has unveiled the southern hemisphere's first 3D-printed Uncrewed Surface Vessel (USV) called ASTRA 460. The project aims to advance maritime manufacturing capability in Western Australia by combining large-format additive manufacturing, recycled polymer materials, and autonomous navigation technology. The vessel hulls are designed by Versatile Marine and manufactured in Henderson, Western Australia, using Large Format Additive Manufacturing (LFAM) technology and recycled polymer waste. Autonomous navigation and control systems are supplied by Greenroom Robotics. The project includes the deployable 'factory in a box' TitanCell manufacturing system and is supported by a $385,000 matched funding grant from the Australian Government's Industry Growth Program. |
