What MI-zone is About

MI-zone is an initiative of the Innovation Centre that supports product development in Northwestern Ontario.  The MI-zone facility has advanced manufacturing capacity in-house as well as the ability to source other local manufacturing capacity. Our equipment includes a mill turn machine with 6 sided complete simultaneous machining, a 5-axis machine centre with a fully automated pallet loading robot, a laser etcher, and a 3D printer.

We specialize in:

  • access to design for manufacturing
  • prototyping,
  • producing small runs to allow for market testing and traction,
  • material selection,
  • product refinement and testing.

What makes us unique is that we work hard to not only make products but to launch successful products.  We do this by combining product development support and business support.
