The Centre de recherche industrielle du Québec (CRIQ) and Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters (CME) have singed a partnership agreement to further 3D printing technology by assisting Québec companies in financing research and development projects.
The established partnership paves the way for collaborative projects and will promote activities of both organisations on their AM platforms: www.reseauquebec3d.ca and www.canadamakes.ca
Representatives of CRIQ and CME will also join the Canada Makes Additive Manufacturing Advisory Board and the Réseau Québec-3D coordination committee. This will allow them to acquire resources to assist Québec businesses in quickly adopting 3D printing.
“This agreement demonstrates CRIQ’s determination to work with the best partners to offer a range of services that will speed up the adoption of additive manufacturing by businesses in the Québec manufacturing sector,” said CRIQ CEO Denis Hardy.
Martin Lavoie, executive director of Canada Makes added: “Additive manufacturing is a critical part of the industrial revolution that is knocking at our doors right now. The partnership announced today will allow Québec manufacturing firms to take part in joint R&D projects with firms elsewhere in Canada and access a wide array of additive manufacturing training activities.”
