Solaxis will be present at CANSEC, Canada's global defence and security trade show. The event takes place on May 30-31, 2018 at the EY Center in Ottawa.
Members of the Solaxis team will be on hand to demonstrate the interesting applications of additive manufacturing for the defence industry and to present its many benefits. Indeed, this technology allows you to accelerate the product development process, personalize features and properties, and avoid the high costs generally incurred by changes to the supply and production chain. With its Controlled Goods Program certification, Solaxis can meet the demand of the defence industry for sensitive projects.
Some key benefits of additive manufacturing:
- Produce parts on request
- Quickly design low-volume equipment
- Produce precise functional prototypes, even when complex
- Shorter lead times
- Optimized work tools
Examples of functional prototypes and low-volume production projects:
- Protective clothing and accessories
- Radar and fiber-optic components
- Parts for drones
- Vehicle interiors
Examples of jigs and specialized tooling :
- Assembly fixtures
- Thermoforming molds
- Cutting jigs
