Advanced Manufacturing Center

The Department of Science and Technology - Metals Industry Research and Development Center (DOST-MIRDC) welcomes the delegation all the way from Eastern Visayas: representatives from the Local Government Unit (LGU) of Catbalogan City, and Provincial Science and Technology (S&T) Office - Samar.
As part of the DOST and Catbalogan City LGU’s Smart and Sustainable Communities Program (SSCP) partnership, MIRDC was designated as one of the agencies to host the delegates for a facility tour and learn more about the Center's programs and services in hopes of exploring potential areas for collaboration that would benefit their region.
The tour highlights the Advanced Manufacturing Center (AMCen), featuring the various state-of-the-art 3D printer technologies that are housed within MIRDC. The Center’s experts also showcases the vast potential of using additive manufacturing technology, such as being utilized within the healthcare industry and even used in improving the country’s defense capabilities.

DOST-MIRDC warmly welcomed Dr. Leah J. Buendia, DOST Undersecretary for Research and Development, during her RDI visit on April 30, 2026, at the DOST-MIRDC AMCen Board Room, Bicutan, Taguig City.

The meeting served as a fruitful and meaningful discussion on MIRDC’s research, development, and innovation initiatives, highlighting opportunities to further strengthen collaboration and advance science-driven solutions for national development.

During the discussions, key challenges were identified, including the need to enhance research capabilities, strengthen industry-academe linkages, and accelerate the adoption of additive manufacturing technologies across sectors. The conversation also addressed pressing challenges in energy conservation amid ongoing crises, such as rising energy costs, supply uncertainties, and the need for more sustainable and efficient manufacturing practices. To address these, proposed solutions and interventions focused on expanding collaborative projects, improving access to advanced manufacturing facilities, promoting energy-efficient technologies, and strengthening capacity-building programs to equip stakeholders with the necessary skills and knowledge.

Together, we continue to transform ideas into solutions through research, innovation, and collaboration.

The Department of Science and Technology – Metals Industry Research and Development Center (DOST–MIRDC) hosted a consultation meeting with the Department of Budget and Management – Budget and Management Bureau F (DBM–BMB F) to discuss its proposed funding requirements for FY 2027. The meeting aimed to secure additional support to further enhance and strengthen MIRDC’s services, while also seeking DBM’s guidance to ensure alignment with national budget priorities.

A key component of the proposal is the funding needed to sustain the operations and ensure the continued delivery of high-quality outputs and services of the Additive Manufacturing Center. This initiative supports the Center’s role in advancing innovation and strengthening the country’s manufacturing capabilities.

The activity was held last March 17 at the DOST–MIRDC Compound, AMCen Building, Central Bicutan, Taguig City, bringing together key stakeholders in support of national planning and development efforts. Following the meeting, a facility tour of DOST–MIRDC was conducted, showcasing its state-of-the-art capabilities in advanced manufacturing, research and development, and a wide range of technical services from product design and prototyping to materials development and testing.

This engagement underscores DOST–MIRDC’s continued commitment to driving innovation, strengthening local industries, and positioning the Philippines as a hub for technological advancement.
