Facilities
InnoTech Alberta helps organizations develop, evaluate and adopt metal additive manufacturing technologies. Whether you are creating a new product, producing a specialized component, repairing critical equipment, or assessing an investment in additive manufacturing, our team can help move your application from concept toward industrial deployment.
Our capabilities combine metal 3D printing, large-scale additive manufacturing, specialty powder development, materials testing, and independent technology validation. This integrated approach helps clients understand material and process performance, assess qualification requirements, and reduce the risks associated with adopting new manufacturing technologies.
Our Laser Powder Bed Fusion technology produces detailed metal components for prototyping, product development, material innovation and applied research. The process is suited to complex geometries, specialty alloys, and low-volume prototyping and production applications.
InnoTech Alberta can support projects beyond the printing stage through materials characterization, performance testing, and qualification. These capabilities help clients assess additively manufactured components and generate evidence to support service-readiness and deployment decisions.
Our Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing facility uses robotic welding technology to prototype and manufacture large metal parts, repair worn equipment, and develop specialized wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials. It provides an additive manufacturing option for applications where conventional manufacturing may be slow or expensive.
The facility can also support the evaluation of additive repair methods and manufacturing processes, helping organizations assess performance and adoption risk before implementing a technology in their operations.
InnoTech Alberta operates Canada’s first ultrasonic powder atomizer. The system supports custom metal powder production, feedstock development, and material qualification for additive manufacturing and coating applications.
Our specialty alloy powder capability can be combined with material characterization to help evaluate printability and material performance. This allows organizations to explore new feedstocks and advanced material applications using powders developed for their technical requirements.
Successful additive manufacturing requires more than producing a component. Material properties, process repeatability and component performance must be understood before a technology can be considered ready for industrial use.
InnoTech Alberta’s broader materials capabilities support the characterization of material structure, composition, defects, mechanical properties, and performance. Together, these services can support material comparisons, process development, qualification, and technical decision-making.
Organizations considering additive manufacturing may need to compare technologies, evaluate repair approaches, understand qualification requirements, or determine whether a process is suitable for a particular application.
As an independent technology organization, InnoTech Alberta can help clients:
Whether you are developing a new component, investigating a repair, creating a specialty alloy powder, or evaluating additive manufacturing for your organization, our team can help define and validate a practical path forward.
