SMSD Featured in CRIAQ Video (Libio Project)

SMSD worked with Bombardier, ZAL (Germany), and 8 other partners in Canada, Germany, and Austria – on the design and development of an aircraft smart table using additive manufacturing and topology optimization. The concept design successfully incorporated additional electronic features into the business jet table and was manufactured utilizing metal and polymer additive manufacturing processes.
