L2M – BEsTech

This project will explore and test the idea of BEsTech, a platform that helps companies find the right additive manufacturing (3D printing) services, materials, and experts faster and without relying on middle agents. Instead of building full software, the project will study real industry needs, test simple prototypes, and learn how people would use and pay for this type of service. The findings will help the partner organization better understand how Canadian companies choose AM suppliers, what problems slow them down, and what features a useful platform should include. This will support the partner’s goal of improving access to advanced manufacturing in Canada and guide future commercialization opportunities.
