CDCQ-Composites-Development-Center-of-Quebec

The CDCQ’s mission is to increase the competence and competitiveness of its clients in the value chain of the composite materials sector, categorized by technical assistance services, applied research and information dissemination.

Projects carried out by CDCQ benefit from a multifunctional workshop with equipment covering most industrial processes for forming composites. A state-of-the-art materials characterization testing laboratory with ISO 17025 accreditation completes the service offering. The centre offers a range of services to exploit the full potential of new technologies such as 3D printing, with the ultimate objective of transferring technology to industry while giving intellectual property rights.
