Additive manufacturing continues to reshape industrial design and production, offering flexible solutions for rapid prototyping, custom part fabrication, and equipment maintenance. Through the Advanced Manufacturing Center (AMCEN) Cagayan Valley, the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) Cagayan Valley works to bring these advanced technologies closer to local sectors, support regional innovation, and help businesses adapt to modern manufacturing standards.

To support this effort, AMCEN Cagayan Valley conducted a two-day Basic Operations Training on 3D Printing: Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF), designed to build fundamental competencies in additive manufacturing for local technical and engineering professionals.

The training brought together engineering and technical teams from key industry partners in the region, including 𝗔𝗖𝗧 𝗠𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 and 𝗔𝗴𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽 𝗠𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 (𝗔𝗠𝗖𝗖). The initiative focused on helping these partners understand how 3D printing can be integrated into their design, repair, and manufacturing workflows.

The sessions were facilitated by AMCEN Cagayan Valley’s technical team:
Neil dela Cruz, Science Research Specialist II
Engr. Niko Tabangin, Science Research Specialist I
Manoling Lagasca, Project Technical Assistant II

On the first day, participants were introduced to the core concepts of Fused Filament Fabrication. The modules covered essential topics including 3D printer anatomy, material selection, slicer software navigation, and standard operational protocols.

The second day focused on hands-on application, giving participants direct experience in calibrating machines, preparing 3D models for printing, executing print jobs, and troubleshooting common print issues. This practical engagement provided the teams with the confidence and skills needed to operate FDM 3D printers independently.

By connecting scientific resources with industrial needs, AMCEN Cagayan Valley aims to strengthen partnerships with local enterprises and expand technical capabilities across the region. This training forms part of DOST Cagayan Valley’s broader effort to promote technology transfer, support local machinery and construction sectors, and encourage innovative approaches to regional development.

TUGUEGARAO CITY, Cagayan — The Department of Science and Technology Regional Office No. 02 (DOST Region 02) showcased smart agriculture and advanced manufacturing technologies during the Junior Institute of Electronics Engineers of the Philippines (JIECEP) Regional Convention 2026, held on October 2–3, 2026, at the Cagayan State University–Carig Campus.

Representing DOST Region 02, Engr. Jude Michael C. Magora and Mr. Benedict P. Tumaliuan presented DOST-SINAG SARAI (Smart and Innovative Agriculture – Smarter Approaches to Reinvigorate Agriculture as an Industry in the Philippines) and Advanced Manufacturing Center (AmCen) technologies to participants during the event.

DOST-SINAG SARAI highlighted the use of science, technology, and data to support smart agriculture, including agricultural planning, monitoring, and addressing weather-related risks. It aims to help make agriculture more informed, productive, and responsive to changing conditions through the use of science-based technologies and data. The technologies are already implemented in the region and accessible through SARAI Regional and Provincial Hubs, giving students, researchers, professors, and other stakeholders opportunities to explore and use them.
Meanwhile, AMCen featured its facilities, equipment, and technical services for product development, prototyping, fabrication, and research, supporting students, researchers, professors, and other stakeholders in developing and improving products.

The exhibit showed how science, technology, innovation, and engineering can address real-world needs. It also introduced participants to DOST technologies and facilities that can support academic projects, research, product development, and future innovation, opening opportunities for collaboration and practical application.
