Grant: Applied Research and Development Grants - Level 1
Southern Alberta Institute of Technology
$25,000.00
Parachute Deployment Device
FY 2013-14
Summary
Canatec Associates International Ltd., a small Alberta company, will work with Applied Research andInnovation Services (ARIS) at SAIT Polytechnic for the first time on a project to continue development andtesting of a small payload deployment device suitable for low temperature operation. The project fits the skillsand advanced fabrication facilities of ARIS's new labs, particularly the computer-aided design (CAD),SolidWorks and 3D printing (additive manufacture) capabilities of the Solids Modeling Lab and theenvironmental chamber of the new Materials Testing Lab. Company personnel will gain CAD and rapidprototyping (RP) skills in addition to a market-ready device demanded by their customers. SAIT researcherswill benefit from a project which engages state-of-the-art equipment in two new labs as well as the opportunityto solve design and testing challenges for new products for use in harsh environments. The technical objectiveof this project is the design and testing of devices for deployment of Canatec's polar tracking electronicsinstrument system. Through this project, Canatec will experience three dimensional design, rapid prototypingand additive manufacturing technologies.
