Implement 3D printing in your organization

Considered an industrial revolution by many, 3D printing (or additive manufacturing) provides new solutions for manufacturing complex parts, for optimizing the value chain and lowering production costs. The metallic additive manufacturing laboratory of Investissement Québec - CRIQ provides manufacturers with three main services.

Parts optimization

The parts optimization service allows you to produce a real object using computer files generated by computer-aided design (CAD) software in order to improve part design. This means you’ll be able to lower manufacturing costs or reduce the weight of your parts and enjoy other specific benefits, depending on the type of products being manufactured.

Value chain optimization

Would you like to analyze the manufacturing process for your metal parts to decide which ones you should make using 3D printing? If so, Investissement Québec - CRIQ’s value chain optimization service could come in handy as 3D metal printing gets ready to take off in the years ahead.

Short series production

Use 3D printing when you would like to create a quick prototype, check how a model looks and works, or produce parts that can’t otherwise be made. Our prototyping and short series production service is available to product developers who can reserve production hours at our Investissement Québec - CRIQ laboratories.

Laboratoire de reconstruction anatomique 3D (LARA 3D)

Investissement Québec – CRIQ is also a leader in medical 3D printing with the 3D anatomical reconstruction laboratory (Laboratoire de reconstruction anatomique 3D or LARA 3D), a unique infrastructure that gives Québec leading-edge equipment and advanced expertise for the manufacture of patient-specific implantable prostheses. LARA 3D has specialized printers and equipment that can be used to finish products, ensure their quality and traceability, and clean and sterilize them before they are delivered to the medical team. Take advantage of 3D imaging, modelling and manufacturing technologies as well as the support of our experts for your projects for the medical sector.watch this video
