REQUIREMENT:
Department of National Defence (DND)/Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC) currently uses traditional manufacturing equipment and techniques, which tend to limit how complex manufactured prototypes and their parts can be.

By doing so, it will provide DRDC the ability to create new alloys and print testable designs and participate with other North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) countries in the research and development of the structural stability of parts created with the additive manufacturing process.
