HP,theNanyang Technological University（新加坡NTU），National Research Foundation Singapore(NRF), have officially openedtheHP-NTU Digital Manufacturing Corporate Labwith 3D printing technologies.
该实验室提供技能开发计划旨在培训其他添加剂制造and digital design. Furthermore, new design software tools are being developed by the lab for material optimization.
Mike Regan, Director, HP-NTU Digital Manufacturing Corporate Lab spoke with3D Printing Industry about the type of technologies being developed at the newly established facility. “HP’s voxel control allows designers to break objects down to the smallest nuances of shape, color, and function and apply them with microscopic precision, creating endless possibilities,” Regan told us.
“这些工具使我们能够在这些体素中指定属性的组合，从而在应用程序的不同部分中实现了所需的强度，灵活性和重量。”
HP-NTU数字制造公司实验室
HP-NTU数字制造公司实验室wasfirst announced in 2018估计价值为8400万美元。这是惠普在亚洲的首次大学实验室合作，及其在全球范围内最大的大学合作。该实验室还遵循公司的决定建立新加坡总部at the National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Cluster (NAMIC).
为了支持研究开发，HP-NTU数字制造公司实验室特别关注3D打印以及新材料和应用，例如高级聚合物，组织的3D生物打印和4D打印。超过60位研究人员和工程师还正在探索AI，网络安全和机器学习，即为3D打印机开发自校正系统。
Elaborating on the work within the lab, Regan said, “There is no name for the tools yet as they are still in the R&D phase, [but they] allow an object’s materials’ mechanical properties to be customized and optimized.”
“工具的人工智能让我们指定属性的组合，实现所需的强度，灵活性和重量[并涵盖整个'部分管道''；也就是说，从设计到几何定义到材料分布，最终生成要发送到HP 3D打印机的打印机文件。”
Advancing additive manufacturing applications
目前，正在进行一项研究项目，探索高级业务模型和分析以建模供应链，以期减少使用添加剂制造识别适合大规模生产的零件所需的时间。
Moreover, six new SkillsFuture short courses related to 3D printing have been launched for upskilling Singaporean workforces in 3D printing. Thus, the HP-NTU Digital Manufacturing Corporate strives to train some 120 working professionals a year through the new skills development program.
里根补充说：“从广义上讲，我们看到用于创建各种应用的工具 - 从鞋类，眼镜，牙科对准器等大众定制商品到高性能机械应用，例如需要高强度的零件与重量比或具有指定失真特性的零件在一组已知的负载下。”
