About

Swee Leong Sing is a leading researcher at the forefront of additive manufacturing, with a primary focus on the intersection of 3D printing and soft robotics. His most influential work, the 2020 review "A review of 3D printing processes and materials for soft robotics," has garnered over 220 citations, establishing it as a foundational resource in the field. In this landmark paper, Sing systematically addresses the critical fabrication challenges that have long hindered soft robotics—namely, the time- and labor-intensive nature of traditional manufacturing. By mapping the capabilities of various 3D printing technologies to the unique demands of soft, elastically deformable robots, he provides a clear roadmap for accelerating design and production. Beyond this review, his research explores novel material-process combinations, pushing the boundaries of what can be printed for flexible, adaptive robotic systems. Sing’s work is not only highly cited but also practically influential, bridging the gap between materials science and robotics engineering. For students and researchers, his contributions offer a vital framework for understanding how additive manufacturing can unlock the next generation of soft, resilient, and easily customizable robots.
