2nd Canadian Sustainable Additive Construction Conference 2025
(CSAC 2025)
Where Innovation Meets Expertise
The 2nd Canadian Sustainable Additive Construction Conference 2025 (CSAC 2025) is a premier congress by the Smart and Sustainable Manufacturing Systems Laboratory (SMART Lab) of University of Alberta, bringing together experts, innovators, and stakeholders to re-imagine the future of construction in Canada. Focusing on additive manufacturing (AM) technologies, CSAC 2025 explores cutting-edge advancements and their role in addressing Canada’s extreme weather challenges, housing shortages, and unique construction needs.
From automated, sustainable housing solutions for remote northern communities to resilient infrastructure capable of withstanding harsh climates, CSAC 2025 is the platform for collaboration and knowledge exchange, accelerating the adoption of 3D printing and additive construction.
From the Conference Chair’s Desk
As Chair and Lead Organizer of the 2nd Canadian Sustainable Additive Construction Conference 2025 (CSAC 2025), I am proud to say that this is more than just a gathering—it is a bold step toward redefining the future of construction through additive technologies. Together, we are building a national roadmap that not only addresses the unique challenges of Canada’s diverse and often harsh environments, but also pushes the boundaries of what’s possible beyond Earth—toward construction for space exploration and settlement.
This conference brings together a visionary community of researchers, engineers, industry leaders, and policy-makers committed to innovation, resilience, and sustainability. Let’s collaborate, question, and design the next frontier of construction—on Earth and beyond. We look forward to your insights and your role in shaping this future.
Warm regards,
Dr. Rafiq Ahmad
