Thanks to a $5M investment from the Government of Canada, the University of Waterloo will create the Consortium for Sustainable Scale-up in Metal Additive Manufacturing. This project will build upon the success of UWaterloo’s Multi-Scale Additive Manufacturing Lab and bring Canadian businesses together to drive innovation in Ontario’s advanced manufacturing sector. The consortium will focus on three areas: clean economic growth, accelerating scale-up of partner industries’ production, and training. As part of this funding, UWaterloo will also develop a series of online and in-person advanced industry training programs focused on upskilling to address the need for skilled engineers in the Canadian workforce.
