TOURS
Imagine if you could tour a local company and see the creation of a 3D design on a computer, watch it get “printed” and then get to see the finished product? This program will expose students, teachers and parents to manufacturing processes from design to the building and assembling of a product, and ultimately the marketing and sales process. Tours are scheduled throughout Canada.
