Two Waterloo Engineering professors are panelists at this year’s RAPID Canada Conference taking place this week in Mississauga.
Pearl Sullivan, dean of engineering, and Ehsan Toyserkani, a mechanical and mechatronics engineering professor, are participating in the conference, an industry-leading forum for the presentation and discussion of the latest developments, trends and techniques specific to additive manufacturing, rapid technologies, and 3D printing.
Sullivan, also a mechanical and mechatronics engineering professor, will be part of the Migrating Additive Manufacturing to the Mainstream panel,
Toyserkani is a member of a panel that will discuss the topic entitled
Toyserkani, an expert in multi-scale additive manufacturing technologies and their applications to engineering and medicine, is the director of Waterloo Engineering’s Multi-Scale Additive Manufacturing Laboratory and a member of several advisory committees on advanced manufacturing.
Along with participating as a panelist for RAPID Canada Conference, Toyserkani is an advisory board member for the conference.
This year RAPID Canada Conference has been merged with the Canadian Manufacturing and Technology Show attracting more than 1000 participants,” said Toyserkani. “This event provides unique opportunity for participants to learn about the current state, trends, future potential, limitations and RD requirements for additive manufacturing technologies.”
First introduced in 2014, the conference is part of the Canadian Manufacturing Technology Show. The country’s largest manufacturing event is expected to attract about 10,000 manufacturing professionals from across the country and around the world.
