Jan 20, 2026 | Cindy Males, Public Relations and Communications Specialist
The Innovation Centre for Advanced Manufacturing and Prototyping (ICAMP) at Canadore College offers comprehensive support to companies across various stages of product development.
Understanding that each organization has unique requirements, ICAMP provides cutting-edge manufacturing technologies with a fully staffed team of engineers, technologists, and technicians that provide tech services and applied research.
Clients can engage with ICAMP for a range of services which include product design, reverse engineering, 3D printing, prototype development, material and product testing, and project funding. With a commitment to innovation and industry collaboration, ICAMP empowers businesses to bring their ideas to life through advanced manufacturing technologies and customized solutions.
One of those businesses is Odyssey Fluid Power, a North Bay-based company that specializes in drill rig overhauls, component sales, and repair for the exploration industry.
“ICAMP has reversed engineered and generated new designs for Odyssey Fluid Power. I would consider them a valuable resource for our design work,” said Mack Whyte, Product Manager. “Having the use of ICAMP allows us to generate component models, drawings, and a full build of materials for our products. This helps us create a complete package that can be easily produced and marketed.”
“One of the big advantages we have in working with ICAMP is that they have an understanding of what’s needed from the local designers and manufacturers. They’ve gone out to industry in the area and taught themselves what they need to know to go into these businesses and help them properly, said Whyte.”
“ICAMP delivers cutting-edge prototyping services that not only meet our clients’ current needs but also anticipate future technological advancements, ensuring they stay ahead in a rapidly evolving markets,” said Brad Gavan, Director ICAMP.
“ICAMP has facilitated our access to equipment and technology that we could never get our hands on as a small business. We wouldn’t be able to access an imaging machine or a technologist to run CAD systems. Access to the systems they run, and the equipment they have, is huge for us. It’s everything.”
