Additive Manufacturing Export Restrictions: Canadas New Rules Target Advanced Technology
The Canadian government recently announced stricter export controls on high-tech products and components in specific sectors. According to the announcement, the affected items include additive manufacturing equipment, key components for quantum computing, extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography-related parts, and high-temperature coating R&D technologies. Once the order takes effect, Canada will play a more gatekeeping role in global precision manufacturing and cutting-edge research, potentially significantly impacting supply chain layouts and international collaborations for domestic and foreign companies.
