Reference number : GC-2017-Q4-01349, amendment number : , agreement type : G, recipient legal name : Nevett, Michelle (St. Clair College of Applied Arts and Technology), recipient country : CA, recipient province : nan, recipient city : Ontario, recipient postal code : nan, program name english : Applied Research Tools and Instruments Grants, program name french : Subventions d'outils et d'instruments de recherche appliquée, program purpose english : The St. Clair College applied research program is strongly aligned with the manufacturing industry needs in_x000D_
Windsor-Essex - the largest sector in Windsor-Essex and Canada's most manufacturing intense region. With_x000D_
the growth rate of advanced manufacturing rapidly increasing, it is essential that St. Clair College support local_x000D_
businesses with regards to innovation and global competitiveness through applied research and student_x000D_
training. We propose to develop a 3D Innovation Lab for Advanced Manufacturing, housed in the Ford Center_x000D_
for Excellence in Manufacturing at St. Clair College, that will include 3D printing and 3D scanning_x000D_
capabilities. 3D printing will provide new applied research project capabilities in advanced manufacturing_x000D_
product and process design through rapid prototyping, direct digital manufacturing of end use parts, rapid_x000D_
tooling, and tool, die, and mold design and manufacturing. 3D scanning is a complementary technology to 3D_x000D_
printing that will provide new applied research project opportunities in advanced metrology to test the_x000D_
advantages gained by 3D printing applications. 3D scanning also has inherent advantages in regards to part_x000D_
inspection, reverse engineering, and laser alignments that are highly accurate, efficient, reliable and digitally_x000D_
integrated, supporting current industry needs of automation, preventative maintenance, and real-time_x000D_
self-evaluation of individual processing components. The requested equipment for the 3D Innovation Lab are a_x000D_
3D metal printer and a composite materials (carbon fiber, fibreglass, and kevlar) 3D printer, and a 7-axis_x000D_
robotic arm with an integrated 3D scanner. The proposed equipment will provide local businesses with the_x000D_
opportunity to take part in applied research projects with low risk capital investment, to help test and justify_x000D_
further 3D printing and 3D scanning technologies adoption, discover technology return on investments, and_x000D_
identify unique customer value and competitive advantages. St. Clair College's applied research and_x000D_
educational programs are catalysts to industry innovation and commercialization, and the proposed equipment_x000D_
will be essential to regional, and thus national, success in advanced manufacturing innovation., program purpose french : The St. Clair College applied research program is strongly aligned with the manufacturing industry needs in_x000D_
