CGL Manufacturing Ltd. provides machining, welding, fabrication, assembly, and kitting services to the off-road**and construction industry. To compete in todays global market, the manufacturing sector is vigorously working**on enhancing the efficiency of manufacturing processes in terms of cost, quality, and environmental impact;**through investments in developing advanced manufacturing strategies and technologies. Additive manufacturing**technologies (AM) enable manufacturers to bypass many traditional manufacturing procedures by shortening the**design and production cycle. AM also boasts the ability for fast fabrication of direct usable parts or products.**Being in its infancy, more analysis from different perspectives is still needed for AM processes. AM parts quality**and AM process parameters optimization still require further research and analysis to characterize their**properties, and enhance its efficiency and economic viability. In this project CGL will work with Professor Deiab**from the Advanced Manufacturing Lab at the University of Guelph to examine the feasibility of rapid prototyping**of new products and design revisions of existing products using AM.
