News & Events

The Centre participated in the 1st International Conference on the Future of Additive Manufacturing, held from 5 – 7 August, where we showcased our latest research in biomedical and healthcare applications enabled by AM. The event brought together leading experts, researchers, and industry partners to discuss the evolving landscape of additive technologies. Our team shared […]

Congratulations to Dr. Zhai Wei and Dr. Zhan Liuxiang on their latest publication! 👏 We’re pleased to share their review paper “Wearable soft actuation systems for human–machine–environment interactions”, published on Materials Today. The paper presents state-of-the-art advances in materials, fabrication methods, and integration strategies for soft actuators that prioritize safety, comfort, and responsiveness. As the […]

This newly published work in Materials Today (Impact Factor: 22.0) by our Centre PI Dr. Sing Swee Leong and his team introduces a powerful data-driven approach to creating next-generation alloys for 3D printing. By combining insights from metallurgy with machine learning, the team developed a framework that can predict and optimise material performance specifically for […]

We were honoured to host a delegation from Nanopolis Suzhou at our facility within the NUS School of Medicine on 9 June. The visit was a great opportunity to exchange insights on translational research and advanced manufacturing strategies in both Singapore and China. Joining the visit was Dr Shiyu Liu, PhD, Deputy Director at A*STAR […]

AM.NUS is proud to congratulate Dr. Zhai Wei on her team’s exciting achievement! Dr. Zhai and her team at NUS Mechanical Engineering have engineered a bamboo-inspired hydrogel that not only absorbs impact with impressive strength, but can also lift over 50,000 times its own weight – all while using sustainable, bio-based ingredients. This ultra-tough, flexible […]

Congratulations to Dr. Tan Yu Jun and her team on their latest publication! Their newly published work in Advanced Materials introduces a 3D-printed self-powered auxetic mechanoluminescent (ML) photonic skin – a stretchable, durable, and highly visible solution designed for underwater communication and safety monitoring. By leveraging auxetic materials (with a negative Poisson’s ratio), they developed […]

Research Focus Develop advanced bioinks for 3D bioprinting applications. Develop multifunctional 3D scaffolds for biomedical applications. Qualifications & Requirements Qualification: PhD in Biomedical Engineering, Materials […]

This Centre-supported study published in Materials Science and Engineering on 23 February 2025 examines the high strain rate deformation behavior of selective laser melted (SLM) stainless steel 316L under different printing strategies (0°, 90°, and 67° scanning angles) and heat treatment conditions. The results show that SLM SS316L exhibits strain rate sensitivity and thermal softening […]
