Discover how three pioneering engineering businesses took their ideas from pitch to product in record time. You’ll share their experiences, explore the challenges they faced and how sustainability drove their innovative solutions.
From serving food in restaurants to disinfecting public spaces, these robots can do it all. UV Robotics team is developing ground based autonomous robots with diverse functionalities.
Lunar arm for excavation is quite expensive to build and requires materials that are lightweight and strong. The student team from Concordia University, Montreal are developing a 3D printed lunar rover arm for the Canadian Space agency.
The aerial robotics industry is highly innovative with constant application specific developments. Airgility is one such disruptive innovator with several mission specific drones in their portfolio that can take care of inspection activities that are far too dangerous for humans.
Minimizing food waste and maximizing amount of grains surviving till the end of supply chain is crucial. The CROVER team is tackling a serious problem which is often overlooked in the food supply chain. They are developing a subterranean robot, capable of monitoring grain quality in silos and other grain storage chambers.
Agile is an initiative across all of the MCG Advanced Materials operations.
Manufacturers across the globe face the same challenge—the high cost and long lead times is killing good products before they are even launched. Additive manufacturing has become a go-to for rapid prototyping for many projects.
Discover how we’re putting our sustainability strategy into practice and driving the circular economy, or what we call KAITEKI. You'll hear how we work across our supply chain to take back waste and end-of-life materials and discover some of the industry's key challenges in closing the loop and driving circularity.
Prototyping is the starting point of the innovation cycle. In an age where new innovations pop up every other minute, 3D printing has established itself as one of the most popular prototyping techniques. But have you ever considered injection molding for prototyping?
We live in times where innovation is at its peak with plenty of ‘market disruptors’. This consistent innovation is facilitated by a design methodology known as Design Thinking which enables companies to tackle real world problems more efficiently.
According to a study conducted by the World Health Organization (WHO), 75 million people across the globe require a wheelchair daily. This constitutes 1% of total world population- just 5 million shy of Germany’s entire population.
Over the years, plastic waste processing has quickly become a major environmental issue. Only 10% of the total plastic used is currently being recycled, while the rest is either incinerated or landfilled.
The Circularity Gap report 2021 estimates that just 8.6% of the materials in use are circulated back into the economy. What's more concerning is the fact that just two years ago the number was 9.1%.
Lightweighting has been a big concern for automotive, aerospace, and medical application for a while now. Plastics are consistently replacing metals as they can achieve weight reduction with same strength properties.
The advent of high-quality cameras in smartphones, tablets and digital cameras is slowly burying the traditional photo printing industry. About 4.7 billion photos are clicked every day: 92.5% of which with smartphones.
'The last mile' has always been the most difficult leg for the delivery industry. With an ever growing and rapidly evolving online shopping industry, it is imperative to make the last mile efficient.
Growth Garage invites start-ups, scale-ups and innovative businesses to share their transformational solution that utilizes our advanced composite materials as part of the 2022 Composite Engineering Challenge, with three prize winners receiving up to $25,000 worth of support.
