Riding on the wheels of novelty, MATDEV proposes an energy-efficient and waste-reducing technology. It employs the technology of additive manufacturing (AM), which is how objects are created in 3D printing. It is called additive manufacturing because the build process adds instead of subtracts raw material.
MATDEV
also undertakes research and development on materials, such as ceramics,
polymers, nanomaterials, and composites for additive manufacturing abled products.
It aims to reduce the cost of raw materials by using local resources and
increase the effective use of additive manufacturing abled products.
MATDEV is one of two facilities housed under DOST's
Advanced Manufacturing Center (AMCen). AMCen is a shared facility between DOST-ITDI and the Metals
Industry Research and Development Center (DOST-MIRDC). The second facility
inside AMCEN is MIRDC's RAPPID-ADMATEC (Research
on Advanced Prototyping for Product Innovation and Development using Additive
Manufacturing Technologies).
Learn more about
MATDEV and its AM services in DOST-ITDI's TekNegoShow Special Edition, an off-the-cuff online business talk show on
technology, which will air narratives and insights of technology generators, business
people, and the consuming public on how they perceive a featured
technology.
TekNegoShow Special Edition can be
viewed through its Facebook account TekNegoShow and Youtube ITDI DOST
with a weekly Thursday afternoon (1:30 PM) show date beginning July 8 until
August 12 of this year. (AMGuevarra\\ DOST-ITDI S&T Media Service)
