The Industrial Technology Development Institute (DOST-ITDI) will be inaugurating the MATDEV Laboratory, a project under the Science Department’s Advanced Additive Manufacturing R&D Program or AMCEN, on December 22, 2020 via the Zoom Meeting platform.
MATDEV Laboratory is one of two facilities housed under AMCEN. A DOST-GIA funded project, MATDEV Laboratory employs additive manufacturing or AM and undertakes research and development on materials for use in additive manufacturing abled or AMabled products. Their aim is to reduce cost of raw materials by using local resources and increase effective use of AMabled products.
AMCEN is a shared facility between 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).
