Precision Engineering

A single strand of hair was spotted from 600 meters away—equivalent to the nano-level defects that Singapore-made chip inspection tools can identify. This achievement reflects Singapore's advanced precision engineering capabilities and our strengths as a leading regional hub in advanced manufacturing.

Advantages of Precision

 

Comprehensive Capabilities

Over 2,700 precision engineering companies provide key products and expertise for manufacturing complex components and equipment used in semiconductors, medical technology, marine, offshore, and aerospace. Singapore's precision engineering companies possess full design, fabrication, manufacturing, and supply chain management capabilities. Manufacturers easily find "one-stop solutions" here, eliminating the need for multiple suppliers.

The precision engineering industry contributed S$34 billion (approximately RMB 170 billion) in 2015, projected to grow to S$42 billion (approximately RMB 210 billion) by 2020. Global leading original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) such as Applied Materials, KLA-Tencor, Kulicke & Soffa, Keysight, and Rohde & Schwarz bring strong innovation and R&D capabilities, laying a solid foundation for the precision engineering manufacturing industry.

 

Facing the Future

In 2016, Singapore launched the Precision Engineering Industry Transformation Map. We will broaden and deepen the advanced manufacturing base by leveraging digital technologies and developing technologies in advanced robotics, additive manufacturing, advanced materials, sensors, lasers, and optics.

Under Singapore's Research, Innovation and Enterprise 2020 Plan (RIE2020), the government will invest S$3.3 billion (approximately RMB 16.5 billion) in advanced manufacturing and engineering R&D.

 

High-Tech Talent

Singapore has a S$76 million (approximately RMB 380 million) initiative to attract a new generation of engineering talent and deepen domestic capabilities, ensuring a steady supply of trained precision engineering professionals. Since its launch in 2007, over 800 undergraduate graduates have been trained and employed in the precision engineering industry. In 2012, Singapore launched another S$52 million (approximately RMB 260 million) Precision Engineering Industry Skills Development Programme.

We continuously upgrade capabilities to prepare for anticipated needs, especially in new verticals identified in the Precision Engineering Industry Transformation Map, such as additive manufacturing. Currently, over 100 postgraduate students are undergoing specialized training in additive manufacturing.
