The NGen Additive Manufacturing Demonstration Program
Presenter:
Frank Defalco, Director - Members Relations, Next Generation Manufacturing Canada
To help manufacturers get up to speed on additive manufacturing and realize its potential, NGen and NRC IRAP have launched an “initial trial” program to help de-risk AM adoption for Canadian SMEs. In short, the program will advise participants on how AM can benefit them and provide companies with funding to have one of their parts additively manufactured. This presentation will delve into the opportunities AM offers, as well as the details and requirements of the program.
