Grant: Applied Research Tools and Instruments Grants
Sir Sandford Fleming College of Applied Arts and Technology
$200,000.00
Enhancing Metal Additive Manufacturing Capabilities Through the Power of Laser Powder Bed Fusion Technology
FY 2023-24
Summary
Fleming College is seeking funding for innovative research equipment to be used in its Centre for Advancement in Mechatronics and Industrial Internet of Things (CAMIIT). In collaboration with its diverse range of partners, CAMIIT conducts applied research projects that lead to the development of products and technologies for use in the Mechatronics, Wireless Communication, Artificial Intelligence and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) markets. Many of the projects that CAMIIT works on depend on rapid prototyping of customized components using advanced manufacturing technologies, such as Additive Manufacturing, also known as 3D printing. CAMIIT relies on its Additive Manufacturing technologies to support its partners in designing, prototyping, fabricating, and advancing their products to the market. Accordingly, Fleming College is seeking to acquire an innovative 3D metal printing technology known as Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF), which will enable CAMIIT to manufacture complex and size-appropriate metal components required by its partners, particularly those in the nuclear, healthcare and aerospace industries. It will also equip Fleming’s students with valuable applied research training opportunities and marketable skills. Taken together, this technology will strengthen and expand CAMIIT’s prototyping and fabrication services and substantially improve Fleming College’s capacity to address the research needs of longstanding partners, as well as future and planned partnerships with other companies.
