In this episode of ‘Making it in Ontario’, Nick chats with Gerd Grau, professor of electrical engineering at York University, and Matt Ewertowski, product manager at Voltera. After 4 years of collaboration, they have found new and innovative applications for additive manufacturing: the 3D printing of electronics and electronic circuits directly into other components.

Collectively, their goal is to develop this technology for all manufacturers, not just a few select industries. The best use cases for this new technology have yet to be written, but in the hands of an innovative advanced manufacturer, anything is possible. Combined with Industry 4.0, Gerd and Matt’s work opens the door for novel manufacturing methodologies, as well as improved product quality and variety.
