en.Wedoany.com Reported - ATLANT 3D, the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) Institute of Materials Research and Engineering (A*STAR IMRE), and the National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Cluster (NAMIC) signed a Memorandum of Understanding on June 24, 2026, to collaborate on establishing the Advanced Materials Development Hub (A-HUB) in Singapore.

The collaboration aims to integrate ATLANT 3D's proprietary Direct Atomic Layer Processing (DALP®) technology, A*STAR IMRE's materials engineering expertise, and NAMIC's additive manufacturing and ecosystem development capabilities to explore the application of AI-driven materials discovery in advanced packaging, silicon photonics, and semiconductor manufacturing.

A-HUB will focus on high-throughput materials synthesis, autonomous materials discovery, and accelerated technology development, undertaking innovation projects with industry partners and enhancing Singapore's sovereign advanced manufacturing infrastructure and materials innovation ecosystem.

Dr. Maksym Plakhotnyuk, CEO and Founder of ATLANT 3D, stated that Singapore is a global leader in the industrial-scale adoption of advanced materials and next-generation manufacturing technologies; by combining DALP® technology with A*STAR IMRE's materials expertise and NAMIC's ecosystem, the world's first high-throughput materials innovation foundry for semiconductor, silicon photonics, and advanced packaging technologies will be created.

Professor Loh Xian Jun, Executive Director of A*STAR IMRE, noted that the partnership with ATLANT 3D brings cutting-edge atomic layer processing capabilities into the materials development workflow, accelerating the discovery and optimization of functional thin-film materials; ATLANT 3D's expertise in advanced deposition techniques, combined with A*STAR IMRE's materials science capabilities and characterization infrastructure, enhances the ability to translate research outcomes into tangible results for Singapore's advanced manufacturing sector.

Dr. Ho Chaw Sing, CEO of NAMIC and Executive Director of A*STAR's Science and Engineering Research Council, stated that humanity's next frontier requires materials breakthroughs with exceptional performance through digitally closed-loop additive processes; A-HUB aims to serve as a shared platform connecting research, industry, and ecosystem partners to accelerate the translation of super materials from lab to factory floor, solidifying Singapore's position as a global hub for next-generation materials and advanced manufacturing.
