Watch Our Very Own DOST-ITDI's TekNegoShow

 Episode #1

 

MATDEV rolls out new AM services

   

Inaugurated late last year, the Materials Development Laboratory or MATDEV has started rolling out its additive manufacturing services after its introduction to the public on March 25, 2021. 

 

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)

Launching of TekNegoShow SE Slated soon

 

DOST-ITDI will be launching the TekNegoShow Special Edition on July 8, 2021 at 9:00 in the morning with a LIVE opening ceremony,  broadcast of its pre-recorded first episode, and virtual presser to be held via the Zoom Meeting platform.

 

 

With the Special Edition of ITDI’s online business talk show, DOST-ITDI Director Dr. Annabelle V. Briones expresses her hopes of more businesses getting interested in adopting ITDI-developed technologies and availing themselves of its various testing services. 

 

 

DOST-ITDI’s Technological Services Division, through its Information and Documentation produces the online science-business talk show which broadcasted its maiden episode on October 22, 2020.  Originally airing for one season or 13 episodes, the Special Edition, however will feature four technologies and two newly-opened research facilities geared toward augmenting business-coping mechanisms of industries to the current COVID-19 crisis. 

 

 

To ensure content substance, TekNegoShow Special Edition will air narratives and insights of technology generators, business people, and the consuming public. This way ITDI can provide the public virtual experience of the technology and a way to interact with technology generators and companies that have adopted these or made use of the facilities.

 

 

Invited to the opening ceremony are personalities with known interests in industrial technology and prospective technology adopters on:

 

1. I- Salt processing technology;

2. Abaca fiber-reinforced composite;

3. Nanoclay production;

4. Biodegradable plastic;

5. Multi-Industry Modular Innovation Center or MMIC; and

6. Development of Multiple Materials Platform for Additive Manufacturing Project or MATDEV-AMCen.

 

 

 

Guests from the Regional Offices and  partner companies, DOST agencies, media friends, and associates are expected to attend the launching. 

 

 

DOST-ITDI will broadcast six episodes beginning July 8 with a weekly Thursday afternoon (1:30) show date via Facebook TekNegoShow and Youtube ITDI DOST.
