Our contribution in metal additive manufacturing is more active and more findings are published in various journal. Before end of 2025, two more articles were published. The first paper is part of PhD works by Jiang Aimin and the second paper is an outcome of final year project and polished by Dr Anwar. Congratulations to the team for the good effort and hope for the best in the next year.

The Metal Forming Research Group (MFRL) progress for the last 15 years is very good. Begins with metal forming and forging processes related research to recently new area, which is metal additive manufacturing, a promosing growth was observed. From just 1 Master (local) student in 2014 to now 11 students from various countries around the globe, depicted the recognition and significance of the group and the work carried out. Hope for more in year 2026.
