The interest of additive manufacturing resides with the idea that parts can be obtained directly from using a 3D model and fabricated to near net shape as opposed to have multiple steps of manufacturing which can be detrimental for a rapid production of parts. Additive manufacturing technologies have the potential of replacing traditional manufacturing techniques in cases where the material used has a value and it becomes more profitable to use AM and also when new designs of parts can be used to either lighten the part while maintaining the same properties or providing the part with properties that could not be obtained through traditional processing. AM technologies tend to not be justifiable for parts made in huge production number using low cost materials as those parts are already made using technologies which had multiple decades of optimization. Furthermore, low cost materials can be easily machine to obtain a part and as such, it does not matter that a significant amount of material is wasted. To create sustainable world-class expertise in additive manufacturing processes (AM), the CMQ wishes to train specialists who can provide a complete service over the whole AM process, from research to implementation. The CMQ will make certain processes a priority for the next five years: directed energy deposition AM (LENS, www.optomec.com) and ultrasonic additive manufacturing (UAM, www.fabrisonic.com). The Centre wants to develop a pool of knowledge and unique expertise in Canada precisely surrounding these technologies. The CMQ will support the aspirations of companies exploiting its capacity for innovation and its relationship with universities, other research centers, as CRIQ (Quebec 3D Network), École de technologie supérieure de Montreal, Laval and McGill universities and equipment suppliers. Specifically, the Centre will do so by focusing on the needs of manufacturing SMEs to invest in improving the productivity and development of international niche markets. This project, highly scientific and technological, was created at the request of companies. The Quebec Metallurgy Center (CMQ) proposes to develop the expertise in metallic additive manufacturing along two different axis of research: (1) Development of ultrasonic additive manufacturing (UAM) and (2) Development of Laser-engineered net shaped (LENS).

令人上瘾的制造业有趣的是，可以直接使用3D模型来获得零件，并制造成接近净形状，而不是具有多个制造步骤，可以确定零件的快速生产。在所使用的材料具有价值的情况下，使用AM的利润更高，以及何时可以使用新的零件设计来减轻零件，或者在维护相同的属性或为零件提供无法通过传统处理中获得的属性时，则可以更换传统的制造技术，并且使用零件的新设计变得更加有利可图。 AM技术对于使用低成本材料制作的巨大生产数量而言，往往是合理的，因为这些零件已经使用了具有数十年优化的技术制造。此外，低成本材料很容易被机加工来获得零件，因此，浪费大量材料并不重要。为了在上瘾的制造过程中创建可持续的世界一流的专业知识（AM），CMQ希望培训可以在整个AM过程中提供完整服务的专家，从研究到实施。 CMQ将在未来五年内将某些流程作为优先事项：导演的能源沉积AM（镜头，www.optomec.com）和超声波添加剂制造（UAM，www.fabrisonic.com）。该中心希望在加拿大围绕这些技术开发知识和独特的专业知识。 CMQ将支持利用其创新能力及其与大学，其他研究中心的关系的公司的愿望，例如CRIQ（Quebec 3D网络），以及技术Supérieurede Montreal，Laval和McGill大学和麦吉尔大学和设备供应商。具体而言，该中心将通过关注制造中小企业的需求，以提高国际利基市场的生产率和发展。该项目是根据公司的要求创建的。魁北克冶金中心（CMQ）沿着两个不同的研究轴发展金属添加剂制造的专业知识：（1）超声波添加剂制造（UAM）和（2）开发激光工程净形（UAM）。
