Solaxis, the Quebec leader in large-format additive manufacturing, exhibited at CANSEC 2025 on May 28 and 29 at booth 1007 at Ottawa’s EY Centre.
The team shared how industrial 3D printing can support innovation, resilience, speed, and performance in the defence and national security sectors.
Now playing a growing role in critical supply chains, high-performance additive manufacturing enables fast production of lightweight, complex, and durable parts—ideal for demanding environments such as:
Numerous benefits include reduced physical inventory, optimized maintenance, customized adaptability, and strengthened local supply chains.
Canada’s defence industry continues to face significant internal barriers: fragmented provincial standards, limited mobility of talent and materials, overlapping regulations, and regional protectionism hinder innovation and slow down supply chains.
In a context where speed, adaptability, and resilience are critical, additive manufacturing stands out as a strategic asset for the armed forces.
At CANSEC 2025, Solaxis unveiled new applications developed with engineering-grade thermoplastics. Our several key certifications are a testimony to our commitment to meet the stringent requirements of the defence and aerospace industries:
With over 280 exhibitors, 50 international delegations, and more than 12,000 expected attendees, CANSEC is Canada's largest defence industry trade show.
Solaxis’s presence at this strategic event highlighted the growing importance of additive manufacturing in modernizing defence production capabilities.
