A national research network led by Waterloo faculty is advancing sustainable metal 3D printing through $10.9 million in new funding.
Two mechanical and mechatronics engineering professors, Dr. Ehsan Toyserkani and Dr. Mihaela Vlasea, will co-direct HI-AM 2.0, a large-scale initiative backed by NSERC, Mitacs and industry partners to accelerate industrial adoption of additive manufacturing and train future talent. Toyserkani and Vlasea are co-directors of Waterloo’s Multi-Scale Additive Manufacturing Lab (MSAM).
“The success of the original HI-AM network showed strong national demand for coordinated research in metal additive manufacturing,” said Toyserkani, director of HI-AM 2.0 and Canada Research Chair in Additive Manufacturing.
Seventeen new research projects will focus on alloy processing, digital twins, and machine learning to scale up production.
