2026 Metal and Engineered Plastics Additive Manufacturing Industrial Demonstration Program
FY 2025-26 · 2025-04-01
Summary
This project will enable NGen to work withindividual innovative Canadian SMEs to help them develop a better understanding of the advantages and business opportunities resulting from the adoption of additive manufacturing (AM) technology and processes including cost savings, reduced new product development cycle times and improved design and efficiency. It will also allow the SMEs to develop direct experience of the capability of AM to produce low volume parts for many applications including the repair of high performance/low cost tools, dies and plastic and composite molds for stamping (conformal cooling), part consolidation and light-weighting parts

Description (French)
Ce projet permettra à NGen de travailler avec des PME canadiennes innovantes individuelles pour les aider à mieux comprendre les avantages et les opportunités commerciales résultant de l’adoption de la technologie et des processus de fabrication additive (AM), y compris les économies de coûts, la réduction des temps de cycle de développement de nouveaux produits et l’amélioration de la conception et de l’efficacité. Il permettra également aux PME d’acquérir une expérience directe de la capacité de l’AM à produire des pièces en faible volume pour de nombreuses applications, y compris la réparation d’outils, de matrices et de moules en plastique et en composite à haute performance et à faible coût pour l’emboutissage (refroidissement conforme), la consolidation des pièces et l’allègement des pièces.
Expected Results
The purpose of IRAP Contributions to Organizations is to support Organizations in building and integrating the innovation capacity in Canada for the benefit of Firms in Canada, primarily SMEs and to support Organizations in providing innovation assistance services to SMEs in Canada.
