What is Metal Additive Manufacturing?

Additive Manufacturing (AM): A process of joining metals to make objects from 3D model data, usually layer upon layer, as opposed to subtractive manufacturing methodologies (ASTM F2792 − 12a).

Advanced Manufacturing in Canada

Canada’s (CSC), along with the UK and Australia, will share the same combat vessel platform. MAMCE has already established partnerships with research centres aligned with these programs, such as AMRC and the University of Manchester in the UK.

National Shipbuilding Strategy

[Ref. https://lop.parl.ca/content/lop/ResearchPublications/2015-35-e.pdf]

The Centre is an excellent investment for suppliers looking to offset Canada’s Industrial and Technological Benefits (ITB) requirements.

This program is run by the University of New Brunswick (UNB) and will be eligible for the IRB/ IT multiplier. Partnership in the Centre will also give access to cutting edge research on metals important to marine applications. Supporting the Centre will ensure that the workforce is in place for the future of marine manufacturing in Canada
