Materials Science Facilities
| Membrane Laboratory | |
 |
This facility is a venue for the development of local expertise in membrane technology, a separation process that does not require the use of intermediate media resulting to savings (e.g., material, energy, time). Its versatility for application to gas, liquid, and ion separation makes it a preferred method of separation in industries such as natural gas, water desalination systems, ultrapure water production, and hemodialysis among others. |
| Advanced Manufacturing Center (AMCen) | |
 |
AMCen is a pioneering facility in Southeast Asia envisioned to transition local traditional manufacturing to additive manufacturing (i.e. 3D printing). The facility has great potential in offering reduced raw material/operation cost and utilization of local materials thru innovative 3D printing technology. AMCen groundbreaking ceremony was held last 15 March 2019. This 3D printing technology center will be handled by DOST-ITDI in developing multiple 3D printing materials while DOST-MIRDC will handle the prototype development. |
