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)

Only Pain Relief: Reflections and Refractions
We seek pain relief and avoid that which makes us unhappy. However, we may consume a bowl of oatmeal, even if we dislike it. Our mind is set that it is good for us as we choke it down and when we rush to the toilet, we still tolerate eating oatmeal.
As our mind gets triggered to seek happier situations, such as following our craving for chocolate when we see an advertisement, it also sends out an alarm when we expect to have pain.
Only a crazy is happy all the time.
So we put on a brave front and tolerate the pain, like physical or emotional pain, chocking it down like a bowl of oatmeal.
We delude ourselves that relationships have no pain like the way it is in movies. That those love stories are true to life and real.
Romance is a choice.
The veritable exchange of words, the glances, the actions, are not set by the scene. It is a decision.
Relationships are oatmeal. Not all the time does it have to be toleraged but it can become as boring as oatmeal. It is acceptance.
Our minds are set to avoid pain. Relationships will inflict pain, as said by Gibran, as we might have experienced.
A classic pain-avoiding experience is after owning a dog and the dog dies, is to decide never to have a dog again.
Thank the dog for sharing their life with you. Dog did not want to die. Another dog will love you.
It makes me smile to think that constant companionship with a human being can become intolerable. Humans talk and show things by their actions or lack thereof.
So I have a dog. I also seek pain relief.
Memories can be beautiful but are also unkind. Comparing is not an option because it is unfair. Even actions or efforts should not be compared, though we do, as we base it on experience.
Love is a feeling.
No. It is a decision.
Feelings change. But like a bowl of oatmeal, the feeling of knowing that it is good for you will make you eat oatmeal daily.
Love is pain relief. It is a shelter. For sure, there will be hurting moment coz we are human, and that makes us alive.
Shakespeare was always in love.
Real love is not a book.
As we write down the chapters of our lives, it has those we are bound to as family, as there was a decision, and those we decide to be our friends and to love.
Who writes our book? Not only us.
Happiness is a choice.
From desperate to disgusted, from obsessed to jilted. Love is a scam?
It is the precedent.
Love is a feeling. "I love you."
Love is a decision. "Always."
Love is pain tolerated. "It's ok."
Pain relief. "Break up"
Pain relief. "Stay"
Due to the emoticons of our being human, we have feelings.
Pain relief. And when we have no pain, be it emotionally or physically, just keep dancing to the music of life.

DOST-ITDI TO PIVOT BACKEND INNOVATION THROUGH ITS WEBCAST @ INNOHUB SA PINAS
Following MMIC’s successful launch in December 2020 and inauguration in February 2021, ITDI once again invites industry partners and stakeholders to share their insights and expectations about the new facility.
InnoHub sa Pinas
is an industrial processing facility with multifunctional/multi-application modular unit operation equipment that can be retrofitted to accommodate different manufacturing lines. It is built to serve the needs of the food, personal care, and pharma-nutraceutical industries using its three main processing lines for nut/seed and oils, mix blend powders, and liquids/emulsions which rely mainly on by-products of commercial operations as raw material. In effect, new or novel products are made out of processing wastes through backend innovation.
Further, InnoHub sa Pinas is open to academe and other interested stakeholders for use in research and development of new products, product equivalent, product variances and product reintroduction.
As one of DOST’s big 20 tickets for 2020, the facility is set to become a one-stop-shop for product conceptualization, development, and marketing, thus collaboration with significant industry and other users is important to sustain efficient services.
It expects that with InnoHub sa Pinas’ modern equipment and devices, as well as experts to lead the operation, previous deficiencies that may hinder advancement in STI will be reduced. (DDGotis\\ DOST- ITDI S&T Media Service)

DOST-ITDI sets MATDEV forum
The Industrial Technology Development Institute (DOST-ITDI) is gathering industry, academe, government, and non-profit organizations in a stakeholders' forum to be held on March 25, 2021, via the Zoom Meeting platform, to present MATDEV Laboratory’s current and future activities on additive manufacturing (AM).
AM is the technique being used by the MATDEV Laboratory to produce models and prototypes directly from three-dimensional (3D) computer-aided design (CAD) without using any tools or fixtures. Funded by the DOST Grants-In-Aid Program, MATDEV Laboratory is a project under the Advanced Additive Manufacturing R&D Program.
Inaugurated on December 22, 2020, the MATDEV Laboratory undertakes research and development on materials for use in additive manufactured products to reduce the cost of raw materials by using local resources.
However, AM has been in use since the 1980s with Hideo Kodama of the Nagoya Municipal Industrial Research Institute inventing two AM photopolymer rapid prototyping systems in 1981. Today, the AM process of making a product by adding successive layers of material is now often referred to as 3D printing.
Compared with traditional production methods or subtractive manufacturing, AM requires less hard tooling and assembly and offers greater customization or bespoke manufacturing at shorter time to market.
AM ensures continual availability of spare parts, which is particularly useful in asset-heavy industries such as aerospace, automotive, and medical. In some countries, the use of AM is widespread in machineries like turbines, handling and robotics, lifestyle and sports like jewelry and biking, and custom parts of classic cars.
DOST-ITDI foresees that in the long run, AM can completely change the way products are designed and built, as well as distributed, sold, and serviced. It is thus advocating AM to the industry through the stakeholder’s forum.
ITDI Director Dr. Annabelle V. Briones admits that "AM is where we might be soon as the rest of the world catches up on its use, which can edge out the competitiveness of our local businesses. Right now, most of our manufacturing firms are into subtractive manufacturing."
Subtractive manufacturing involves cutting away from a solid block of material. A milling machine cutting/hollowing out a piece of metal or plastic is an example of subtractive manufacturing.
However, most of AM's current users around the globe think that, "As it currently stands, it is unlikely that additive manufacturing will replace subtractive manufacturing any time soon. This is because both sets of processes have a very contrasting set of advantages and disadvantages, meaning that each can play to the strengths of the other's weaknesses."
Director Briones added that, "AM has been steadily growing a following, primarily because of its big market, which researchandmarkets.com reported at $12 billion in 2020."
Currently, analysts at Global Market Insights, Inc. believe that the overall economic impact created by AM could reach $100 billion to $250 billion by 2025, "... if adoption across industries worldwide continues at today’s rate." This potential is seen to come from the aerospace and defense, automotive, medical, and consumer goods industries.
Through the forum, DOST-ITDI hopes to inform concerned industries on AM, its value chain, future players, and the business model which may apply to local materials manufacturers.
