The Canadian Manufacturing Technology Show 2019 (CMTS 2019) kicks off this week at The International Centre in Toronto, Ontario. This manufacturing and technology mecca will feature more than 3,000,000 pounds of manufacturing equipment in action. The show will also create a space where attendees can connect with 700+ suppliers of technologies and solutions under one roof demonstrating live, working equipment.

Be sure to visit the SME Zone

The SME ZONE is the nerve centre of everything happening at CMTS. Major attractions will be hosted in the SME ZONE – and while you’re there, learn how SME can help you grow your business and advance your career. SME can help you keep up with advancing technology, maintain your innovative edge, develop your workforce, help you close the skills gap, connect you with the manufacturing industry, expand your network, and much more. Manufacturing comes with challenges; SME offers solutions.

“Ask Me Anything Manufacturing” (#AMAmfg)

The Ask Me Anything Manufacturing (#AMAmfg) series, presented by SME in conjunction with CMTS, provides a forum for technology users to ask questions of and get advice from leading experts in key technology areas. Sessions are are held as live webinars or face-to-face onsite at CMTS. Webinars are recorded and will be posted on this page soon after the sessions are held.

Check out the live sessions in the SME Zone | Booth 2741:

  • Iterate Quickly: How to Learn from Failed AM Builds with technical expert Mihaela Vlasea, PhD, Assistant Professor, University of Waterloo
    Monday, September 30 | 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM
  • What Exactly is IoT and Is It Just for Big Manufacturers with Big Budgets? with technical expert Mark Corker, Founder, MTechHub
    Tuesday, October 1 | 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM
  • The Next Stage of Human-Machine Collaboration with technical expert Matthew Kim, Managing Director & Industry X.0 Lead, Accenture
    Wednesday, October 2 | 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM

Looking to network?

CMTS includes several signature networking events where the industry comes together to connect, share and celebrate manufacturing. Maximize your face-to-face opportunities to connect with fellow attendees, speakers, industry leaders and exhibitors.

  • Opening Night Reception – CMTS VIPs, exhibitors, partners and media will celebrate the opening of CMTS 2019!
  • Late-Night Show Floor Social – Join attendees for the ‘late night at CMTS’ where exhibits are open until 8:00 PM so busy job shops don’t have to shut down to visit CMTS.
  • Conference Delegates Receptions – Conference delegates, speakers, advisors and sponsors are invited to enjoy this time to connect daily after their sessions wrap up.
  • Exhibitor Socials – Found amongst the exhibits, enjoy the elevated experience many exhibitors offer through hospitality events within their booth during event hours.

Are you a student?

Students are invited to discover and explore the world of advanced manufacturing and a brand new learning experience at CMTS 2019 on October 3, 2019. More than 200 high school students from the surrounding area will descend upon The International Centre to attend the SME Education Foundation Student Summit event at CMTS. The Student Summit event series delivers student-centric programming, hands-on challenges and competitions, technology demonstrations, and guided show-floor tours at SME conferences and trade shows across the country.

The Student Drone Challenge

The goal during the challenge is for students to fly, configure, reverse engineer, design, build and code drones. Student teams compete against each other while learning about integrating hardware and software systems. Most importantly, they’ll experience the clean and high-tech manufacturing process that is often overlooked while exploring the role of a mechanical engineer and drone pilot.

Guided Show-Floor Tour and Technology Demonstrations

Students and educators will discover new manufacturing technologies, processes, innovations and educational opportunities as they interact with manufacturing exhibitors during a guided tour of the CMTS show floor.

Archeform BIM 1.1 targets small practices that draw every plan twice

Archeform BIM 1.1 targets small practices that draw every plan twice

Archeform BIM 1.1, a €199-a-year SketchUp extension, puts existing, demolished and new construction in one model, with a separate drawing set for each. It also adds material schedules and richer IFC4 export. For small practices, the exported file is the real test.

  • 01At €199 a year, Archeform BIM is priced against the hours a small practice spends drawing the same building twice; the file it exports decides whether it replaces a full BIM suite.
  • 02Renovation work gains the most from version 1.1: one SketchUp model now produces separate drawing sets for existing, demolished and new construction, plus CSV material schedules with an optional breakdown by storey.
  • 03Authorities that accept SketchUp-authored models still judge the export. Singapore's CORENET X guidance tells teams to check geometry, storey structure, coordinates and required data in an IFC viewer before submission.

Fanshawe College's solar cladding is expected to supply around 18% of near-term power

Fanshawe College's solar cladding is expected to supply around 18% of near-term power

Fanshawe College's Innovation Village in Ontario carries 174.86 kWp of SolarLab solar cladding on every elevation, expected to supply around 18% of near-term power. A thin polymer layer keeps PV panels below the European A2 fire class, so fire strategy belongs beside the energy model from day one.

  • 01A 174.86 kWp solar facade on every elevation of a college building is estimated to produce 122.98 MWh a year, about 18% of near-term power, which works out to roughly 700 kWh per kWp.
  • 02PV panels carry about 0.9 mm of polymer encapsulant that, per SolarLab, keeps them from reaching A2 under EN 13501-1, so ventilated-cavity fire blocking has to be designed in from the start.
  • 03Modeling (one climate/device type) suggests maximizing PV output alone can trade off against total electricity use, so teams should balance generation with net consumption across tilt/orientation options.

SketchUp 2027’s Revit importer aims to turn tagged models into editable elements

SketchUp 2027’s Revit importer aims to turn tagged models into editable elements

Trimble’s SketchUp 2027 adds Procedures, a non-destructive modeling system. A SketchUp Importer for Revit, expected in November 2026 for certain tiers, is designed to map tagged and classed components to native Revit elements that can be edited and scheduled. The article argues the payoff hinges on upfront standards—tag conventions and template-ready procedural settings—and on testing the workflow on a live project.

  • 01The Revit importer converts what designers have tagged and classed, so the quality of the concept-to-documentation handoff is set inside SketchUp, before Revit is ever opened.
  • 02Dodge Data & Analytics research, as cited by Trimble, says up to 40% of mid-to-late-phase design time can go to re-keying, re-modeling and cleaning up geometry moved between tools; 2027’s workflow puts more weight on upfront tagging/classing to reduce manual rework in that handoff.
  • 03The importer reaches only Pro Advanced Workflows and Studio subscribers, so a firm's license mix decides who on a team can use the handoff when it arrives in November 2026.
