OTTAWA, January 22nd, 2019 – The Honourable Catherine McKenna (Minister of Environment and Climate Change) toured Equispheres’ new facilities today to view the company’s newly-commissioned atomization reactors and learn about the environmental benefits of Equispheres’ ultra-homogenous metal powder designed for use in Additive Manufacturing.
The transportation sector is a significant contributor to climate change and is responsible for emitting 28% of greenhouse gases (GHG) worldwide. Aircraft and motor vehicle manufacturers are seeking innovative technology to eliminate any excess weight from parts and components to improve fuel efficiency and minimize GHG emissions.
In today’s meeting with Minister McKenna, Equispheres explained how their unique, highly-uniform metal powder enables the production of parts with consistently superior mechanical performance. That performance provides engineers with the confidence to use the material to build lighter, stronger parts.
“We were excited to host the Honourable Minister Catherine McKenna to discuss our collaborative efforts with the Canadian government in the research and development of our innovative technology and its application in combatting climate change.”
– Kevin Nicholds, CEO, Equispheres
