Pushing Boundaries in Additive Manufacturing and Product Development
In North Vancouver, a seismic shift is underway in the realm of manufacturing and product development. Here at Upsurge, nestled where the forest meets the sea, we’re not just participants in this revolution; we’re at the vanguard. This is about real manufacturing, real parts, and real impact — extending well beyond the theoretical into the tangible and functional that drives local industries in Vancouver and across Western Canada.
HP MJF: Bridging Prototyping and Production
At the core of our facility, HP’s Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) technology is setting new benchmarks in the production landscape. Used primarily for short-run productions as a prelude to injection molding, MJF allows us to create highly detailed, durable parts expediently and efficiently. This technology isn’t just about accelerating prototypes; it’s about delivering production-grade components that meet rigorous standards.
FDM: The Workhorse of Functional Parts
Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) technology provides the backbone for our production of functional parts. We work with a versatile array of materials including PLA, PLA-CF (carbon fiber infused), PETG, ASA, ABS, and TPU. This range allows us to customize properties like strength, flexibility, and environmental resistance, tailoring solutions directly to customer needs.
3D Scanning and Reverse Engineering
Our capabilities extend into advanced 3D scanning and reverse engineering, enabling us to replicate and enhance existing parts. For local industries, this means reduced downtime in machinery and faster enhancements to systems. We’re not just fixing problems — we’re preempting them, rebuilding and improving with precision that traditional methods can’t match.
Local Impact: Supporting Western Canada’s Industries
The practical applications of our work resonate across several industries in Vancouver and Western Canada. From aerospace to automotive, and from heavy machinery to sustainable technology firms, our methods are integral to innovation and efficiency. By integrating advanced manufacturing techniques, we’re helping these industries not only to survive but to thrive.
A No-Nonsense Approach to Manufacturing
We operate with a no-nonsense policy. Every claim we make about our capabilities can be backed up by real parts in the hands of our clients. Our focus is always on the tangible outcomes — the parts that make machines work better, that integrate seamlessly into existing setups, and that push the boundaries of what’s possible in manufacturing today.
Conclusion
At Upsurge, based in North Vancouver, the philosophy is simple: deliver uncompromising quality and innovation in additive manufacturing and product development. As the local industry grows and evolves, so do we, perpetually refining our processes and techniques to support the backbone of Western Canada’s economy. If you’re looking to build not just for today but for tomorrow, you’re in the right place.
