NECTEC has used green technology in the field of printing.<ref>http://www.bangkokpost.com/tech/gadget/288200/nectec-promotes-printing-future {{Dead link|date=February 2022}}</ref> This has led to the foundation of  [[Thailand Organic and Printed Electronics Innovation Centre]] (TOPIC). NECTEC along with public and private sectors have researched the technical feasibility of using [[organic electronics]] in printing ink. It has successfully developed [[graphene]]-based conductive ink in 2011. The ink has five times more conductivity than a typical ink. It is also cheap, contains no contamination, and is suitable for various applications.
It has also developed a software called "Size-Thai"<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.sizethailand.org/index.html|title = SizeThailand}}</ref> that uses [[3D computer graphics|3-D]] body scan to measure the anatomical dimensions of Thai people. This makes Thailand the second nation in Asia to use such a software after Japan.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://nationmultimedia.com/2009/03/03/technology/technology_30096958.php |title=Nectec develops national body chart - Nationmultimedia.com |website=nationmultimedia.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090304060949/http://www.nationmultimedia.com/2009/03/03/technology/technology_30096958.php |archive-date=2009-03-04}} </ref> It is expected to reduce wastage and help garment retailers to reduce losses. It also has business applications like "virtual-try on" and "made to measure".
