Tronos adds Additive Manufacturing and Design Department

The government of Canada is putting up more than $3 million to help a P.E.I. company develop new aerospace technology.

The money will go toward the purchase of a Renishaw RenAm 500Q 3D printer, which will be used to design and print aerospace parts. Development of the new technology is expected to be ready for commercialization at the end of a three-year project.

"It's certainly a game changer for us," said Tronosjet CEO Mark Coffin. "It puts us with one of the most advanced, if not the most advanced manufacturing facility of the East Coast of Canada."
