Overview
The National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Cluster (NAMIC) Hub@SIT is at the forefront of developing advanced Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies that catalyses industry transformation. We aim to unlock the full potential of AM through co-development of innovative solutions, with a particular focus on Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) capabilities and emerging technologies.
One of the key areas we are exploring is the development of more efficient and compact heat exchangers for modern equipment. Through collaborations with leading corporations, we are tapping into the power of computational shape optimisation technologies driven by fluid and thermal simulation data. This has led to the development of high-performance heat exchanger designs that were previously impossible to achieve with traditional manufacturing methods.

Past Events
AM Workshop in collaboration with Engineering Design & Solutioning Micro-credential
SIT is dedicated to fostering upskilling through continuous learning in the industry. The Competency-based Stackable Micro-credential (CSM) Pathways provides an excellent platform to address the industry's just-in-time skill demands and meet the needs of learners. In collaboration with the Engineering Design & Solutioning Micro-credential, engineers from NAMIC Hub@SIT conducted three specialized hands-on training sessions for students. These sessions covered the fundamentals of 3D Printing, Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM), and 3D Scanning to support their project work. Upon completing the Advanced Manufacturing (AM) workshops, attendees received a certificate of participation from NAMIC.
SIT Urban Railway Technology (URT-CET) 3D Printing 2024 Learning Trip to Local AM Service Bureau, ELH
Postgraduate students from the Urban Railway Technology course visited ELH Pte Ltd's local AM service bureaus to see AM equipment up close and learn about various AM technologies and processes.
IEEE-SIT Student Chapter 3D Printing Workshop 2024
The annual workshop, held in September, aimed to promote AM knowledge to students through hands-on experience at the 3D-printing lab in SIT@Dover.
MSPACO 3D Printing Challenge (Sustainability Interior Design)
M-SPACO, NAMIC Hub@SIT, and AIC co-organised a sustainability-themed interior design 3D printing challenge during Singapore Design Week 2024. 3D printing workshops were held throughout the challenge, with more than 25% of attendees participating. More than 30 designs were submitted, and ten finalists were chosen, with four winners. Each unique design approach from the team has created aesthetically nice interior design products that encompass sustainability in their own manner.
