𝐀𝐝𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐫 You’ve probably heard of Additive Manufacturing (AM) and in particular, 3D printing – the buzz words today. But what exactly is AM, how can it be used to sustainably boost one’s business, and what’s the future of AM? These and other issues were addressed in a seminar themed “Collaborate to Innovate: Sustainable Business Strategies with Additive Manufacturing”, jointly organised by Nanyang Polytechnic, Singapore Polytechnic, and Temasek Polytechnic, and attended by more than a hundred participants at MBS on 19 July 2024. Keynote speaker, Dr Chaw Sing HO, CEO of NAMIC Singapore, highlighted the global and local advancements in AM, while industry speakers, Ee Kid Ho (GE Aerospace), Rangasamy SUREJ (GlobalFoundries), Dr Yongjie Zhang (ST Engineering), and Jia Hong Lim (Pelagus 3D), shared their companies’ respective AM journeys, including the hurdles they overcame amidst people’s shifting mindsets, and the importance of certification & qualification. Speakers from the three polytechnics then shared the possibilities of AM, highlighting how polytechnics can play a vital role in supporting this AM ecosystem to bridge the needs of SMEs and MNCs. A panel discussion, moderated by Dr Alex Liu (ASTM Additive Manufacturing Center of Excellence), with panellists Anne Ho (Enterprise Singapore SG), Dr Guoying Zheng (ST Engineering), Daniel Tan (Pelagus 3D), and Mack Hee (Forefront Additive Manufacturing), then explored how AM can boost the manufacturing sector in Singapore. Big thanks to all our speakers and panellists, as well as Enterprise Singapore, NAMIC Singapore, Association of Singapore Marine & Offshore Energy Industries (ASMI), AutomationSG, Singapore Manufacturing Federation, Singapore Precision Engineering And Technology Association, and Singapore Semiconductor Industry Association (SSIA), for making the event a success! #CollaboratetoInnovate

𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐀𝐝𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 Additive Manufacturing (AM), commonly known as 3D printing, is revolutionizing the way industries approach production and design. This innovative process involves creating objects layer by layer from digital models, allowing for unprecedented flexibility and precision. Unlike traditional manufacturing methods that often involve subtracting material from a larger block, AM builds products from the ground up, minimizing waste and enabling complex geometries that were previously impossible or too costly to produce. Industries such as aerospace, healthcare, automotive, and consumer goods are leveraging this technology to accelerate prototyping, reduce lead times, and customize products to meet specific needs. 𝐉𝐨𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐧 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐀𝐝𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 @ https://lnkd.in/gh9rV_Du The impact of Additive Manufacturing extends beyond just production efficiency. It fosters innovation by enabling rapid prototyping, allowing designers and engineers to iterate quickly and bring new ideas to market faster. Additionally, AM supports sustainability efforts by reducing material waste and enabling localized production, which can lower carbon footprints associated with transportation and logistics. As AM technologies continue to advance, with improvements in material science and printing speed, the potential applications are expanding, promising to reshape manufacturing landscapes and drive economic growth through more efficient and adaptable production methods.

As 3D printing technology, or Additive Manufacturing (AM), skyrockets beyond its infancy, it's reshaping not just how we manufacture, but entire job markets and economies. According to Ernst & Young, AM could unlock an astonishing one million jobs by 2025, transforming economic landscapes with fresh opportunities and innovation. But it's not just about jobs. The agility of AM is strengthening supply chains—creating a robust, dynamic economy that's as creative as it is resilient. Imagine localized, just-in-time production that's not only efficient but also drastically cuts down on vulnerabilities inherent in traditional manufacturing pipelines. We're at a thrilling crossroads where economic growth is fueled by technological prowess, proving that human ingenuity knows no bounds. The future is here, and it's custom-printed.
