Cimetrix Solutions Industry Grant Contribution to Expand Health FabLab in CAMDT

Sheridan College is pleased to announce the expansion of its 3D printing capabilities within the Centre of Advanced Manufacturing and Design Technologies (CAMDT) with the launch of its Health FabLab.  Sheridan’s industry partner, Cimetrix Solutions, is providing an Industry Grant in support of the FabLab’s launch.  The Cimetrix Industry Grant will provide the Health FabLab with the newest in professional-grade 3D printing technology - the Objet30 Prime.

Based on Stratasys’ Polyjet technology, the Objet30 Prime offers a broad range of material properties from rigid to flexible and opaque to transparent. The Objet30 Prime will reside alongside the array of other Additive Manufacturing technologies within CAMDT.

Over the past 4 years, Cimetrix has worked closely with CAMDT as the Centre’s trusted industry partner supporting the adoption of 3D printing technologies and initiatives.  This latest contribution will further support CAMDT in connecting Sheridan with local SMEs, and students with a specific focus on medical applications. The addition of the Objet30 Prime provides the Health FabLab with the ability to print true-to-life medical prototypes and produce highly accurate surgical guides and in a variety of materials, including bio-compatible materials.

“Sheridan is grateful for Cimetrix’s vision and ongoing support, which is providing a competitive edge to our students who have the opportunity to work with the latest in additive manufacturing technologies,” said Dr. Farzad Rayegani, Director of CAMDT and Associate Dean of the School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering and Technology.
