Additive manufacturing, often referred to as 3-D printing, requires a high-tech skillset – one that can help companies scale up production of parts and services efficiently and effectively.
To help address the skills shortage in 3-D printing, the Multi-Scale Additive Manufacturing (MSAM) lab at the University of Waterloo offers programs and courses that support graduate students. The lab also runs regular workshops enabling both professionals working across sectors and those within the industry to reskill and upskill.
As the largest academic-based research and development facility in metal additive manufacturing in Canada, the MSAM uses leading-edge machinery and custom 3-D printers that work with metals, composites, functional inks, polymers and ceramics.
