Additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, is reshaping industries like aerospace and healthcare by enabling the creation of intricate metal parts with greater design flexibility. ✈️🩺 Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) is a widely adopted method offering faster production and streamlined part consolidation. However, challenges such as quality inconsistencies can arise due to variations in powder properties and machine settings.   A*STAR Institute of High Performance Computing (IHPC) develops "iTwin", a novel AI solution that combines machine learning with expert knowledge and physics simulations to monitor and adjust the LPBF process in real-time. The result? Consistent quality, reduced waste and greater efficiency - ideal for high-precision industries.   Connect with us to discover how iTwin is driving innovation in advanced manufacturing. 📧 [email protected] Feng YANG Farzam Farbiz Mehdi Jafary Zadeh Additive Innovation Centre (AIC) @ A*STAR   #IHPC #3DPrinting #AdditiveManufacturing #AI #LPBF #Innovation #PrecisionEngineering #machinelearning

[𝐃𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞] #DIDYOUKNOW that the design of our surroundings can influence our interactions and lifestyle choices? 🏘🌳⛹♂️🏃♀️ In densely populated countries like Singapore, designing urban spaces that foster social well-being and address public health concerns is a major challenge. Researchers from A*STAR’s Institute of High Performance Computing (IHPC) have discovered that residents with positive perceptions of their surroundings tend to develop greater social capital. This, in turn, enhances community engagement and physical activity, ultimately leading to improved overall community health and well-being. [WATCH] the video to learn how this discovery can guide urban planners and policymakers in creating more connected and healthier communities. 📧 Drop us an email at [email protected] to learn more about #IHPC's research work. #publichealth #socialwellbeing #socialcapital #communityengagement #urbanplanning Hoai Nguyen Huynh

Hydrogen as a marine fuel is still in its early stages. As the maritime industry moves towards low and zero-emission fuels due to stricter regulations, hydrogen must demonstrate its technical and commercial viability for future adoption. Building on previous assessments of HyForce, a hydrogen-fuelled harbour tug, researchers from A*STAR’s Institute of High Performance Computing (IHPC), in collaboration with Seatrium, developed a digital twin of the tug. This virtual model allowed them to evaluate its performance using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations that mimic real-world conditions like wind, waves, and sea currents. The initial findings indicated that the tug would require between 93 kW to 1892 kW of power to achieve speeds of 5 to 12 knots under ideal conditions.
