From medical prosthetics to aircraft parts, from industrial molds to satellites \u2014 polymers and metals are at the heart of our everyday lives.
And thanks to additive manufacturing, whether polymer-based or metal-based, we can now design parts that are lighter, higher-performing, and perfectly tailored to every need.<\/p>\n

On October 14 and 15 in Trois-Rivi\u00e8res, the Metals and Polymers Symposium<\/em> brought together enthusiasts in science, engineering, and innovation to exchange on the latest advances in advanced materials and additive manufacturing.<\/p>\n

The CQFA – Carrefour qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois de la fabrication additive<\/a> was at the center of this dynamic event, alongside COALIA<\/a>, the Centre de m\u00e9tallurgie du Qu\u00e9bec<\/a>, the Centre qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois de recherche et de d\u00e9veloppement de l’aluminium (CQRDA)<\/a>, PRIMA Qu\u00e9bec – P\u00f4le de recherche et d’innovation en mat\u00e9riaux avanc\u00e9s du Qu\u00e9bec<\/a>, CRITM<\/a>, AFC<\/a> and the American Foundry Society<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Two days of discussions, discoveries, and a shared vision: pushing the boundaries of manufacturing in Qu\u00e9bec.<\/p>\n
