SIMTech Develops New LED Manufacturing System Through Liquid Forging
A*STAR’s Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology (SIMTech) is on its way to revolutionize high-powered LED lighting for homes and offices through a new manufacturing system called ‘liquid forging’. Chua Beng Wah, lead researcher on the project explains how the team pooled forging and casting to develop the liquid forging method, subsequently using it to manufacture high-performance LED heat sinks. The process also enables unified production of intricate light fixtures (to increase surface area) and heat sinks, significantly reducing the manufacturing costs. Anodizing the heat sink further improves its thermal performance by 10–15% yielding brighter and long lasting LEDs.
