Researchers led by Professor Huang Dejian, principal investigator of the project and AM.NUS research thrust co-lead, have developed a new plant protein ink that can be used to create scaffolds for growing meat in laboratories in a more cost-effective way. The edible ink is made from the by-products of agricultural grains like maize and barley […]

The NUS Centre for Additive Manufacturing (AM.NUS) aims to accelerate 3D printing adoption in Singapore, focusing on the development of innovative 3D-printed products and processes that improve patient outcomes. Our 3D printing capabilities also present exciting opportunities for new research and technology in material science, biology, and other biomedical fields. Join us to explore new […]

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 […]
