Big Money Invested into 3D Printing in Western Canada

Western Economic Diversification, a government division of Western Canada, has announced an investment of $5 million for an Additive Digital Manufacturing Hub in partnership with the Orthopaedic Innovation Centre, Magellan Aerospace, and Stratasys Direct Manufacturing. The initiative is fueled by speculation that the additive manufacturing sector will become a $6.9 billion industry in the next four years, and Western Canada wants to be part of this emerging manufacturing trend. Medical and aerospace sectors are highlighted since they share much in common, with their need for specialized metal powders and polymer materials, and can likely guarantee a profit from investment.
