Waterloo Engineering researchers at the Multi-Scale Additive Manufacturing Lab (MSAM) will lead a multi-million-dollar initiative to scale up sustainable metal additive manufacturing.
Dr. Ehsan Toyserkani and Dr. Mihaela Vlasea, co-directors of MSAM and professors of mechanical and mechatronics engineering, will lead the brand-new Consortium for Sustainable Scale-up in Metal Additive Manufacturing as part of the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario’s $5 million investment. The consortium will be devoted to accelerating the adoption of large-scale 3D printing technologies, helping to position Canadian as a leader in sustainable advanced manufacturing.
Researchers at MSAM will focus on optimizing production processes, implementing AI-driven quality control, and developing strategies for material reuse. Industry partners will collaborate with Waterloo experts to enhance efficiency and sustainability in Canadian-made metal additive manufacturing.
