What We Do

The Singapore Centre for 3D Printing (SC3DP) drives research development and industry adoption of additive manufacturing technology through collaborative projects with leading industry partners, and with schools and research centres within and beyond Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU, Singapore).

Find Out More: About SC3DP

Ten years ago, in December 2014, the Singapore Centre for 3D Printing (SC3DP) was established, sowing the seeds of innovation. Funded by the National Research Foundation (NRF) and supported by the Economic Development Board (EDB), Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU, Singapore), and prestigious industry partners, SC3DP set out to reshape the landscape of additive manufacturing.
