Mitch Debora, Sc카지노 게임 컬렉션14, Chris Labelle, BCom카지노 게임 컬렉션14, and Derek Vogt, Sc카지노 게임 컬렉션14, of Toronto-based Mosaic Manufacturing take pride in their ability to innovate.
They honed this skill at the Dunin-Deshpande Queen's Innovation Centre (DDQIC) summer incubator in 2014, when they founded their company, which makes accessories that enable 3D-printers to print in different materials and in different colours.
Amid the COVID-19 pandemic six years later, they카지노 게임 컬렉션ve discovered a new way to innovate.
Inspired by individuals and companies using 3D printers to make respirator parts, Mosaic co-founder Mitch Debora said he and his team looked for ways to contribute to the nation-wide shortage of personal protective equipment (PPE).
To do this, Mosaic teamed up with three other companies, including Rockmass Technologies, based in Toronto, which makes data collection tools for the mining industry. Like Mosaic, Rockmass was founded by a member of the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s alumni family, Shelby Yee, Sc카지노 게임 컬렉션16.
The four companies decided to use their 3D printers to make face shields 카지노 게임 컬렉션 plastic protective face gear that is worn over a masked face 카지노 게임 컬렉션 for health-care workers across the country. Unlike traditional disposable face shields, these shields can be decontaminated and reused.
The companies applied for stimulus money from NGen Canada for Canadian small businesses stepping up to produce personal protective equipment. Once they were approved, their production goal jumped from the original 200 face shields to 45,000 by the end of June.
카지노 게임 컬렉션What do you do when you need something critically and the lead time is four months?카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Mr. Debora. 카지노 게임 컬렉션You do it yourself.카지노 게임 컬렉션
That카지노 게임 컬렉션s where the innovation comes in. Mosaic and their partners are making those face shields while honouring the rules of physical distancing. 카지노 게임 컬렉션We are setting up factories in homes,카지노 게임 컬렉션 Mr. Debora explains. 카지노 게임 컬렉션A supply chain in Toronto has 21 locations and around five printers in each. That is 100 printers that will run 24/7.카지노 게임 컬렉션
After they카지노 게임 컬렉션re printed, the shields are sent to another manufacturer for assembly, sanitization, packaging, and shipping.
Mr. Debora considers this production arrangement a blueprint for any future need. 카지노 게임 컬렉션There is something bigger than what we are doing right now,카지노 게임 컬렉션 he says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션We are now responding, and it카지노 게임 컬렉션s going to take us some time. But what about next time? Next time there is a playbook. We are demonstrating that next time we are set up.카지노 게임 컬렉션
