Nine projects to receive $28.8 million as part of Advanced Manufacturing Supercluster investment
Summary
“The advanced manufacturing projects we support combine some of the best in knowledge, technologies, and production capability that Canada has to offer,” said Jayson Myers, CEO of NGen. In March, NGen announced that it would allocate at least $50 million of funding to help launch innovative manufacturing solutions to help in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. This project will develop a system to manufacture flexible, transparent electrodes and heaters with clean technology applications such as batteries, electronics, and solar cells. This project will integrate medical science, imaging, and measurements with industrial 3D printing to improve the manufacturing of orthopedic implants. The challenge sought out robotic solutions that would reduce the number of healthcare-associated infections to protect the safety of both patients and healthcare workers.
