New Innovation Centre for Australia opens in Melbourne’s North West : The Only Privately Owned 3D metal Printing Service Bureau is being opened by Ben Reeson 2nd August 2018.

Ben Reeson Liberal member for Niddrie will open Amiga Engineering’s Innovative Additive manufacturing service bureau at an Educational event of University Rock Stars and Heads of Innovation for Australia.
