Revolutionizing Local Industries: North Vancouver’s New Era of Additive Manufacturing 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. […]
In the realm of manufacturing, where the shift from traditional techniques to innovative technologies can define the future of a company, North Vancouver is riding the wave of change with advanced 3D printing technologies. At the heart of this transformation are Additive Manufacturing (AM) and Multijet Fusion (MJF) technologies, which are not just prototypes or […]
For decades, many British Columbia companies relied on overseas suppliers or distant manufacturers to produce their parts. It worked—until it didn’t. Long lead times, high shipping costs, and unpredictable delays have forced Vancouver businesses to rethink how they source and manufacture critical components.
Now, a quiet shift is happening. Local additive manufacturing is transforming the way BC companies design, test, and produce parts.
For decades, manufacturers have been locked into a cycle of expensive tooling, long production runs, and inflexible design changes. If a company needed a new part, the process could take months and eat up a massive chunk of budget before a single usable unit rolled off the line. That reality is changing. Today, custom industrial 3D printing has matured far beyond its prototyping roots. Businesses across industries are discovering that additive manufacturing is not only faster but also more cost-effective for production-ready parts.
At the intersection of cutting-edge innovation and community impact, we caught up with Fardin Barekat, Research Associate at BCIT’s Center for Applied Research and Innovation, to talk about the evolving world of 3D printing, his side ventures, and what technologies like Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) mean for the future of design and manufacturing.
The impact of HP MJF technology on eco-friendly product development is evident in numerous industries. In the automotive sector, several manufacturers have leveraged MJF to produce lightweight and durable components, improving fuel efficiency and reducing emissions.
