3D printing facility joins forces with federal experts

Wednesday, January 6, 2021

Experts at Waterloo Engineering are teaming up with counterparts at the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) to help Canadian companies capitalize on the enormous potential of metal 3D printing technologies.

The collaboration between the NRC, the largest federal research and development organization in the country, and the Multi-Scale Additive Manufacturing (MSAM) Lab at Waterloo will run for at least seven years.

“We want to create in southwestern Ontario a unique ecosystem to support metal additive manufacturing (AM) in terms of research and development and to translate competencies to industry partners,” said Mihaela Vlasea, the associate director of MSAM.
