News about Nanogrande

With great happiness, Mr. Juan Schneider, Nanogrande’s CEO, received the Frontier Tech Showdown prize from Tyler Benster of Asimov Ventures, at the Inside 3D Conference in New York. This prize underlines the most promising startup in the 3D printing industry.

The chairman and CEO of Nanogrande, Mr. Juan Schneider, is proud to announce the realization of a cooperative multiparty agreement that includes l’École de technologie supérieure (ÉTS) and Airbus-Safran Launchers. Backed by state-of-the-art research in nanotechnology, this agreement should allow the development of a surface treatment and manufacturing technology which is a specialty of Nanogrande.

Laval, Monday, February 20, 2017—Mr. Juan Schneider, President and CEO of Nanogrande, is pleased to announce a close to $1.6 million research and development project that it will co-finance with its collaborators, which includes the Consortium de recherche et d’innovation en transformation métallique (CRITM), a financial partner of Ministry of Economy, Science and Innovations of Quebec, and McGill University, also a CRITM member. This agreement will allow the refinement of metal powders 3D production protocols used by Nanogrande’s nanometric printers. Furthermore, this agreement includes the delivery of printers that will be used, among others, by McGill University’s researchers within this process of refinement of the production protocols.

Laval, le 10 février 2017 – La Chambre de commerce et d’industrie de Laval (CCIL) a dévoilé le nom des finalistes de la 36e édition du concours Dunamis lors d’un cocktail qui a réuni plus de 200 personnalités de la communauté d’affaires lavalloise.
Ce sont les coprésidents du concours, madame Eve Dalphond, directrice régionale de Femmessor Laval, et monsieur Marc Tremblay, directeur général adjoint au développement économique de ville de Laval, qui ont nommé les 50 finalistes dans les 17 catégories du concours.

The Quebec Industrial Research Center (CRIQ) and Nanogrande reached an agreement to further develop and facilitate the commercialization of the first 3D printer to create objects from metal nanoparticles, polymers and organic materials as small as DNA molecules.

March 14, 2016, Nanogrande filed its first patent for additive manufacturing technology. This is the first application of a number of patents to be filed in the coming months.

Nanogrande becomes a member of Québec 3D Network, an organization dedicated to pooling the experience of different actors of 3D printing in order to provide additional services ranging from execution of contracts to the training of highly qualified personnel with the aim of supporting Quebec to position itself in this sector of global expansion.

Nanogrande becomes a member of Prima Quebec, an organization that acts as the central network for the development, support and facilitation of innovation and collaboration ecosystem to promote the development of advanced materials

Nanogrande becomes a member of CRITM, the consortium for research and innovation in the development and processing of metals.

Agriculture and Agrifood Canada, three universities including Carleton University, the University of Alberta, Trent University and Nanogrande are part of a multidisciplinary research group for the joint development of a smart-release fertilizer. The research group wants to develop a technology capable of reducing the harmful effects of the lack of efficiency of nitrogen based fertilizers currently in use. Less than half of the nitrogen is actually arriving to plants, creating adverse effects such as the production of blue algae, death lakes and rivers, reducing biodiversity, increasing fertilizer consumption and the increase of production costs due to inefficient products. Nanogrande hopes to provide a real solution to the lack of effectiveness of existing fertilizers and reduce impact of humans on the environment.
