What You Get
The playbook for getting parts made in Canada. No filler. Just the math, the checklist, and the programs that'll pay for a third of it.
The Real Cost Math
AM vs. CNC vs. injection molding, compared at every volume from 1 to 5,000 units. With a real part example, real Canadian pricing, and the crossover points where switching processes saves you 40-70%.
The 15-Minute Vetting Checklist
8 questions to ask any supplier on a single phone call. Plus the red flags that should kill the relationship before it starts. And a $500 test order strategy that's saved companies $15K in bad production runs.
Government Programs That Pay 30-60%
SR&ED, IRAP, CanExport, provincial R&D credits, and the Canada Makes AM Demo program. Most eligible companies never file. A company with $500K in R&D spend is leaving $175K in cash on the table. Every year.
