Ford Tests 3D Printing for Auto Parts

Ford Motor Company is exploring how large-scale one-piece auto parts, like spoilers, could be made using metal additive manufacturing (AM) for prototyping and future production vehicles with a new AM system capable of printing automotive parts of practically any shape or length. The new system is housed at Ford Research and Innovation Center in Dearborn, Mich.

Canada Makes Teams Up for Space-Bound Part

Canada Makes, FusiA, and MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates Ltd. (MDA), all located in Canada, have partnered to build metal additive manufactured (AM) components to be launched into space as part of a satellite later this year. The parts are spacecraft interface brackets for an antenna and are in the process of being optimized for a flight project. The funding, design, and build of the metal component is a team effort: Canada Makes provided funding through its Metal Additive Demonstration Program supported by NRC-IRAP, MDA designed the component, and FusiA built it.
