Medical Research: Quebec to Host 3D Print Center
Translated from the French Canadian. There's no mention of the specific technologies to be used. AP&C's location in Québec should help with the availablility to contacts at Arcam/DiSanto/General Electric/Concept Laser.
It'll be interesting to see what other metropolitan areas will provide financial incentives to create centers of technology/innovation.

Recherche médicale: Québec accueillera un centre d’impression 3D - Jeudi, 29 juin 2017
Using Google Translate:
The Government of Québec is investing close to $ 3 million in the development of a first integrated 3D medical print center in the nation's capital, a promising technology that could change the lives of many patients.
This center, the first of its kind in the province, will be created thanks to a partnership between the Quebec Industrial Research Center (CRIQ) and the CHU of Québec-Université Laval, it was learned on Thursday.
The 3D printing technology makes it possible to manufacture custom prostheses with unprecedented precision. Ultimately, it could produce human tissues, skin, and even human organs.
In Quebec, where there are already two of these printers, teams have been able to print metal bars to rebuild the jaws of patients with cancer, explains Dr. Gaston Bernier.
"We're talking about a game change. In a few years, we can say: there was medical care before 3D printing, and now we are elsewhere, "says the specialist, certain to see new medical applications make their appearance soon.
Tangible benefits
The center will not only help to advance research, but will also bring concrete benefits to users, "said the Minister responsible for the Capitale-Nationale, François Blais.
"That we have this expertise in Quebec City, when at the moment I was told that we were bringing in US supplies and equipment, I think in terms of cost and accessibility, This is an important gain for the sick, "said the minister.
This announcement is part of Québec's strategy for research and innovation, presented last month by the government, which aims to position Quebec "among the 10 leaders of the OECD in research And innovation by 2022, "Blais said.
Autonomy
Stressing that the "Quebec network is dependent on foreign products for supply", the CEO of the CRIQ, Denis Hardy, also believes that the Quebec healthcare network will gain autonomy, both technological and financial.
It is now nearly five years that the CRIQ is interested in 3D printing, he explained, being optimistic about this new alliance with the health network.
"This opens the door to major opportunities for scientific advances that will be generated by the collaboration of experts in the fields of medicine and 3D printing."
