For more than a decade, the Australian National Fabrication Facility (ANFF) has been enabling research through a mixture of training, expert support and direct access in order to assist its clients to pursue their projects in a time- and cost-effective manner. Established under the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS), ANFF's 21 Australian locations provide academia and industry with access to more than 500 state-of-the-art micro/nanofabrication facilities. From proving principles to producing prototypes all the way through to production, the network is helping to bring about new generations of medical devices, advanced materials, electronics, photonics, and more.
