SINGAPORE – The National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Cluster (NAMIC), HP Inc, and Dou Yee Technologies, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) at the Global AM Summit 2025 to collaborate on advancing the commercial adoption of metal binder jet (MBJ) additive manufacturing (AM) for industrial applications targeting the tooling, automotive, and medical sectors.
Through this collaboration, the organisations aim to establish a robust development-to-production workflow for MBJ applications. The collaboration seeks to accelerate qualification processes, define clear transition pathways to scaled manufacturing, and strengthen local manufacturing agility and resilience through digital production capabilities.
MBJ is one of the most cost-effective AM processes for producing geometrically complex metal parts. As a digital manufacturing process, MBJ supports supply chain adaptability by allowing parts to be produced directly from digital design files. Its mold-free approach complements metal injection molding (MIM), enabling manufacturers to respond flexibly to high-mix, low-volume production needs while reducing lead times.
“HP Additive Manufacturing Solutions (HPAM) is committed to empowering the transformation of metal manufacturing through mass-production-ready solutions and end-to-end local ecosystem collaborations. Singapore sits at the heart of Southeast Asia’s manufacturing ecosystem, making it an ideal location to introduce new technologies. With NAMIC’s strong research and application development hubs and Dou Yee Technologies’ deep expertise in powder metallurgy, we’re excited about this collaboration and the opportunities it brings to enable new applications and businesses across the APJ region.”, said Mr Alex Moñino, SVP and GM of HPAM.
“At Dou Yee Technologies, we see strong potential in MBJ to support our customers with high-mix, low-volume production, rapid turnaround without tooling, and the ability to manufacture high value-added products with intricate geometries. This collaboration aligns with our goal of enabling faster, more flexible manufacturing solutions for demanding industries.”, said Mr Tan See Cheong, VP (Operations) of Dou Yee Technologies.
“NAMIC is committed to strengthening Singapore’s advanced manufacturing ecosystem bolstering Singapore’s reputation as one of the leading global AM hubs. Working alongside HP and Dou Yee Technologies, we aim to help industry players adopt MBJ more effectively and build the digital manufacturing capabilities of the future.”, said Dr Ho Chaw Sing, CEO of NAMIC.
The parties will work together on industry pilots to demonstrate and qualify MBJ for demanding applications. These efforts will focus on validating application performance against industry standards, helping local manufacturers to adopt and scale up MBJ for production.
