The University of New Brunswick opened the Marine Additive Manufacturing Centre of Excellence in May of 2017 in Fredericton. Supported by $2.7 million in funding from Lockheed Martin Aeronautics, the $5 million facility is Canada’s first 3D metal printing research center for the marine and defense industries. Created in partnership with Custom Fabricators and Machinists (CFM) and community colleges in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, the project will also accommodate training and workforce development programs.
