This paper discusses the benefits of electrical stimulation for biomedical applications but highlights the limitations of traditional equipment. Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) have been developed as an alternative, utilising triboelectrification and electrostatic induction to create electrical energy from kinetic energy. TENGs can be used in various applications such as enhancing bone regeneration, detecting biological signals, slowing […]

A research team comprising Liu Quyang , Li Tian, Dr Zhai Wei and AM.NUS researchers Gan Soo Wah,  Chang Soon Yee and A/Prof Yen Ching-Chiuan released a study that focuses on the development of hierarchical porous hydroxyapatite (hpHA) scaffolds for bone tissue engineering (BTE). The scaffolds are fabricated using 3D printing of emulsion inks, which allows for […]

The Future of Medicine – Bioprinting Workshop which is co-organised by the NUS Centre for Additive Manufacturing (AM.NUS) and CELLINK, and supported by the National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Cluster (NAMIC), had successfully concluded on 10 Jan 2023.   This was the third edition of the bioprinting workshop, with leading NUS researchers presenting on the unique […]

This research paper presents the development of a novel breast teaching model that is easily adjustable and cost-effective. The project was funded by the National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Cluster (NAMIC) grant, and it was conducted in collaboration with KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital. Read the paper here.

This article explores the use of 3D printing technology to produce prosthetic nails in a more efficient and precise manner. The process involves reverse engineering a patient’s hand using a 3D scanner, creating 3D models of the nail shapes using CAD software, and printing the nails using inkjet technology. The results show that 3D printing […]

The AM.NUS team comprising of Dr Cai Yanli, Chang Soon Yee, Gan Soo Wah, Dr Ma Sha, A/Prof Lu Wen Feng and A/Prof Yen Ching-Chiuan has published a review paper titled “Nanocomposite bioinks for 3D bioprinting”. This paper explores the recent developments of cell-laden nanocomposite bioinks for 3D bioprinting and cell-materials interactions. 3D bioprinting is […]

Doing so allows implant to be customisable to each patient, in terms of shape and porosity Using sea coral materials to 3D-print implants for a bone graft could soon become a reality here. Today, the surgical procedure uses transplanted bones to repair or regenerate diseased or damaged bones. This can be taken from one’s own […]

Corals and human implants — what do they have in common? While seemingly unrelated to the layman, the NUS Centre of Additive Manufacturing (AM.NUS) sees a novel way to 3D-print medical and advanced human implants using cultured corals as a base material. AM.NUS has signed an International Technology Development Agreement with Taiwan-based Popeye Marine Biotechnology […]
