Novel solution: Tey’s 3D metal printer uses a proprietary formulation to print articles from stainless steel, alumina, copper and silicone without the need for high-energy enclosures.
Researchers at the Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR) Faculty of Engineering and Science will soon release a three-dimensional (3D) metal printer that is cheaper, smaller, and easier to use compared to what’s available in the market today.
The novel innovation, due to its compact size, will take up less floor space and cost only a third of the price of 3D metal printers in the market, said UTAR mechanical and materials engineering assistant professor Dr Tey Jing Yuen.
