Specs: Electronics Engineer by profession, Electronics Technician by title, master of segmentation, sculptor of anatomy, and architect of force simulations that blur the line between data and life. With nothing but DICOM files in hand, he decodes complexity and shapes it into precision, powered by software he mastered, explored, and bent to his will. Where others see grayscale slices, he sees form, depth, and life waiting to be revealed.

From pixels to precision, scans to simulations, he transforms raw imaging into models so exact they feel almost tangible. Every model segmented with intent, every structure refined, driven by tools he did not just learn but truly understood. Simulation becomes foresight.

ADMAM3D moves with quiet certainty under his support, models cleaner, information sharper, research elevated into something almost surgical in its accuracy. When datasets grow chaotic, he does not hesitate, he hits the undo button and slices them into perfection. ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ“Š

Today, we celebrate the mind that turns DICOM into dimension, slices into structure, and software into something almost alive in his hands. Happy Birthday, Engr. Ionuel! May your models stay precise, your simulations true, and your mastery only grow deeper with every system you touch. โœจโš™๏ธ

Specs: Biomedical Engineer by profession, Medical Equipment Technician by title โ€” master of calibration, keeper of tolerances, guardian of every nozzle, motor, and circuit that breathes life into medical prints. The printers do not argue. They do not resist. They only respond to his beckon. Because letโ€™s be real โ€” Only Vorict Touches my Plate.

From filament to form, slicer to plate, he commands machines like they were built for his hands alone. When layers falter, he realigns fate. When prints fail, he rewrites the outcome. ADMAM3D runs smooth, precise, and powerful because the printers listen โ€” and Vorict answers. โšก๐Ÿ”ง๐Ÿงฌ

Today, we celebrate the man who turns digital designs into healing realities, breakdowns into breakthroughs, and 3D printers into obedient extensions of his will. Happy Birthday, Vorict! May your layers stay flawless, your calibrations true, and your plates forever touched by you. ADMAM3D stands strong, one perfect layer at a time. โœจโš™๏ธ๐Ÿ–จ๏ธ

Last January 26, 2026, ZCMC ADMAM3D had the pleasure of welcoming visitors from Mindanao State University โ€“ Iligan Institute of Technology (MSU-IIT) for a courtesy visit.

ZCMC ADMAM3D was honored to host the BIOCHAP Research Team of MSU-IIT, led by Dr. Ronald P. Bual, Project Leader, together with their study leaders, engineers, technical specialists, assistants, and administrative staff.

The visit served as an opportunity to explore potential collaboration under MSU-IITโ€™s DOST-funded research initiatives. Discussions covered two research directions, including the development of hydroxyapatite and chitosanโ€“hydroxyapatite biocomposite scaffolds from Charru mussel shell waste, as well as an advanced extracellular matrix-based marine patch derived from fish processing wastes for nutraceutical and biomedical applications. Possible areas of collaboration were discussed, particularly in product application testing, validation, and translational pathways relevant to clinical and advanced manufacturing use.

The meeting was held at ADMAM3D Laboratory, Zamboanga City Medical Center, with the participation of representatives from various ZCMC clinical units, including Surgery, ORL-HNS, Orthopedics, OB-Gynecology, Ophthalmology, Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, and Pathology & Laboratory, reflecting a strong multidisciplinary engagement.

We thank the MSU-IIT BIOCHAP Research Team for the meaningful exchange and look forward to future collaboration in advancing biomedical research, innovation, and patient-centered healthcare solutions.
