Graphjet Technology has announced it will support and collaborate with Centre for Materials Engineering and Smart Manufacturing (MERCU) of Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) on integrating graphite and graphene into additive manufacturing technology to develop advance heat sinks.
In addition, Graphjet has completed a laboratory which enhanced its capability to perform quality testing on its graphite and graphene as well as research on improvements to the graphite and graphene produced. This will reduce the Company’s reliance on third party for testing services and would allow a much quicker turnaround time for the Company’s development program. This laboratory will also serve in the collaboration with UKM.
“This development will benefit from the surging demand for specialized chip, especially AI chips which will demand for more efficient and effective cooling solutions. By focusing on additive manufacturing technology, the development would allow improvements to existing deployed heat sinks used whilst developing new advance heat sinks for new facilities, especially for new and existing data centers.
Currently, data centers are a booming industry in Malaysia and the South East Asia region with big names such as Amazon Web Services, Microsoft, Google Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, and Equinix & NTT has committed or is committing to develop data centers in the region to capitalize on its strategic location and connectivity coupled by the support of the local governments.” says Chris Lai, CEO of Graphjet.
