Australia is well placed to take a leading role in space resource extraction and processing and has become a leader in advanced space manufacturing, such as additive manufacturing or large-scale 3D printing. In 2019 the Australian Centre for Space Engineering Research and the UNSW School of of Minerals and Energy Resources Engineering is jointly hosting the fourth biannual Off-Earth Mining Forum (OEMF) where Prof. Andrew Dempster will talk about the ‘Wilde project’.
