Additive and digital manufacturing and advanced machining (ADA) is transforming the industrial world in Canada and globally as we move from Industry 3.0 to adopt Industry 4.0. Industry experts indicate that Canada and Alberta are falling behind in the adoption of ADA and Industry 4.0. ADA is turning product and process development into data platforms, allowing for virtual design, simulation, and testing of products processes and production systems and rapid development prototyping, and production of new and enhanced products, processes and services. Alberta has the 3rd largest manufacturing sector in Canada accounting for 6.4% of real GDP in 2017 and $70.9B of sales. As Alberta's economy shifts from the production of oil and gas and mining products, ADA will play a key role in supporting the transition and growth of companies in aerospace, medical, machinery, artificial intelligence and machine learning based software and applications, food products, fabricated metals. Building on the decade long industry-driven applied research experience, cutting-edge expertise and infrastructure, SAIT is proposing the Centre for Innovation and Research in Additive and Digital Manufacturing (CIRADM) to facilitate the industrial and manufacturing transformation in Alberta and Canada. CIRADM will focus on three core areas: topology optimization, assembly consolidation and additive and advanced manufacturing, along with the over-riding importance of using data to make good design decision. Coupled with industry contributions and CFI, NSERC funding will be used to provide a stable financial environment for the establishment and operation of CIRADM. The research carried out by CIRADM will complement the parallel development of the Alberta Additive Manufacturing Network and NGen, and the new Advanced Manufacturing and Digital Technology Programs at SAIT. CIRADM will provide a unique venue for HQP training. By working closely with industry, the centre will provide students with the opportunity to work on innovative applied research, directly related to the rapidly-expanding adoption of ADA and Industry 4.0 both in Alberta, and in Canada as a whole.

随着我们从工业3.0转变为采用行业4.0，加拿大和数字制造和高级加工（ADA）正在加拿大和全球的工业世界转变。行业专家表明，加拿大和艾伯塔省在采用ADA和行业4.0方面落后。 ADA将产品和流程开发变成数据平台，从而允许对产品流程和生产系统的虚拟设计，模拟和测试以及快速开发原型制作以及生产新的和增强的产品，流程和服务。艾伯塔省拥有加拿大第三大制造业，占2017年皇家GDP的6.4％，销售额为70.9b美元。 随着艾伯塔省的经济从石油和天然气和采矿产品的生产转移，ADA将在支持航空航天，医疗，机械，人工智能和基于机器的软件和应用程序，食品，制造金属的公司的过渡和增长方面发挥关键作用。 SAIT在十年长期以行业驱动的应用研究经验，最先进的专业知识和基础设施为基础的基础上，提议在添加剂和数字制造业（CIRADM）中提议创新和研究中心，以促进艾伯塔省和加拿大的工业和制造业转型。 Ciradm将重点关注三个核心领域：拓扑优化，组装合并以及添加剂和高级制造，以及使用数据来做出良好设计决定的过度重要性。再加上行业捐款和CFI，NSERC资金将用于为Ciradm的建立和运营提供稳定的财务环境。 Ciradm进行的研究将补充Alberta添加剂制造网络和NGEN的并行开发，以及SAIT的新的高级制造和数字技术计划。 Ciradm将为HQP培训提供独特的场所。通过与行业紧密合作，该中心将为学生提供创新应用研究的机会，这与艾伯塔省和整个加拿大的ADA和行业4.0的迅速采用直接相关。
