About the Centre

The Centre focus on the following activities:

a) Applied Projects:

• Design freedom of organic shapes
• Ergonomic design to reduce musculoskeletal disorder
• Redesign for material optimisation to replicate sub component system
• Product weight reduction with design optimisation and lattices
• Design and 3D printing of conformant internal channels
• Development of a fully automatic process for dental prostheses, from scanning, ExoCAD design to 3D printing and sintering
• Development of support structure properties that are dense enough to have good thermal conductivity and strong enough to hold overhanging features
• Study of powder material including their surface texture, shape, porosity, elemental composition, etc.

b) Training and Skills Upgrading

• Through the SSG-funded courses on CAD and additive manufacturing that we offer, participants will gain knowledge of the fundamentals of additive manufacturing in advanced manufacturing, and apply skills in CAD for additive manufacturing and pre and post processes using specific case studies.
