Contract additive manufacturing in Toronto
built for production runs

Fifty machines across two processes, running parts by the thousand. We’ll review or optimize your parts for additive manufacturing to ensure a repeatable monthly output: printability and cost review, first article, pilot batch, then scheduled production. Assembly, electronics and dimensional inspection happen in the same building.

48-Hour Prototyping

Direct large-format composite tooling molds.

100% Domestic IP

Secure Ontario production plants.

10,000+ Units/Yr

High-capacity attritable airframe scale.

WORKFLOW PIPELINE

How a production job happens

A structured four-stage pathway from initial engineering review to recurring sovereign volume production.

01

Design review

2 to 5 business days. We review your model for printability and cost and return it marked up, with print time, material use and per-part cost at the volumes you asked about.

STAGE 01 OF 04Verified
02

First article

Sample parts are printed, finished, scanned and inspected. You get the part and its dimensional report to approved.

STAGE 02 OF 04Verified
03

Pilot batch

A short run at production settings measures cycle time, scrap rate and finishing hours. We’ll quote a production program based on measured data.

STAGE 03 OF 04Verified
04

Production

Scheduled monthly output at a fixed per-part price for the term of the order, with inspection records at regular intervals.

STAGE 04 OF 04Verified
SUPPLY CHAIN & MATERIAL SCIENCE

Materials

Material choice moves cost-per-part more than any other decision. We can advise against your use case and recommend ideal material options. We stock and source from Canadian suppliers where the material is available domestically to ensure consistence and supply chain reliability.
