Brigade brings Vision Zero expertise to the Saskatchewan Mining Supply Chain Forum

Published

on

BURLINGTON, ON, April 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Brigade showcased its high-quality range of commercial vehicle safety solutions at the Saskatchewan Mining Supply Chain Forum 2025 in Saskatoon between April 9th and 10th.

In the mining and quarrying sector, excavators and tippers operate in rough terrain and harsh weather conditions which create a hazardous working environment.

During the event, Brigade answered questions and helped operators navigate appropriate safety solutions to aid drivers and prevent collisions. These included Brigade’s products such as AI cameras, Radar Predict system and Front Radar.

Warren Di Marco, CEO of Brigade Canada, said:

“In 2021, mobile vehicles replaced rock falls as the top killer of miners worldwide, and there are 46.9 fatalities per 100,000 workers each year in the mining and quarrying sector. Research shows that fatal occupational injuries for miners are six times that of all other private industry sectors.

“In addition, in 2022, road collisions led to 1,931 Canadians being killed on our roads, while a further 8,851 people were seriously injured. As well as the loss of life and impact on families, transport injuries also have a financial effect and cost Canada $3.6 billion a year. Brigade has spent years painstakingly researching and developing the best and most reliable safety solutions for both on and off-road vehicles to assist drivers and greatly enhance safety for all.”

Brigade’s newest product has recently entered the market – an AI driver safety camera. This aims to reduce the possibility of an incident caused by a lack of concentration or driver fatigue. Sensors positioned near the steering wheel track signs of distracted behaviour and tiredness by continuous monitoring of the driver’s face, eyes and head movements. They can pick up on cellphone usage and seatbelt deployment as well as unusual drooping, yawning or nodding. Built-in AI analyzes these signals and provides audible alerts to the driver. Erratic steering and unusual vehicle positioning can also trigger an alarm, and there is the option of alerting the fleet manager too.

Brigade’s recently upgraded award-winning Backeye®360 has been a bestseller for the company since its 2013 launch. The 360-degree camera now features cutting-edge AI capable of identifying humans in vehicle blind spots.

The intelligent camera system aids manoeuvrability in challenging situations by providing drivers with a complete 360-degree view of their vehicle in a single image. The system merges images from four cameras positioned around the vehicle and provides a real-time view on an in-cab monitor, creating a ‘bird’s-eye view’ of the vehicle and its surroundings. Given the many blind spots on vehicles undertaking mining, quarrying and heavy construction work on busy and constricted sites, this is essential for safeguarding workers.

Warren added:

“By enhancing our Backeye®360 and other cameras with AI technology, we offer operators even greater assurance that they are using the safest solutions available. Our innovative systems not only prevent incidents but also provide critical support. Brigade’s AI cameras integrate effortlessly into a vehicle’s existing infrastructure for a seamless upgrade and are compatible with our entire range of AI-powered devices.

“Brigade works tirelessly to prevent collisions at our mines and quarries, and on our construction sites and roads, and our recent partnership with Together for Safer Roads (TSR) will add further support to our efforts. We hope to meet as many people as possible at the Saskatchewan Mining Supply Chain Forum and raise awareness of the huge and multiple benefits of commercial vehicle safety solutions.”

Brigade attended the Saskatchewan Mining Supply Chain Forum, Prairieland Park, 503 Ruth St W, Saskatoon SK S7K 4E4 between April 9th and 10th.

Creality K3 Now Available at $849, Making Multi-Color 3D Printing More Practical

Published

on

By

Creality’s four-nozzle flagship moves from pre-order to official U.S. availability, bringing faster color changes and greater creative flexibility to everyday 3D printing.

HOUSTON, Nov. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Creality today announced the official U.S. availability of the K3, its latest flagship K Series 3D printer, starting at $849. Following its pre-order debut in October, the K3 is now available for purchase, with shipments of the first pre-orders having begun on November 2.

Recognized as an IFA Innovation Awards 2026 Honoree, the K3 introduces a four-nozzle system designed to make multi-color printing faster, less wasteful, and more practical for everyday creative projects.

Making Multi-Color Printing Easier and Faster

From detailed figures and personalized gifts to decorative pieces and functional designs, color can make a significant difference in how a 3D-printed project comes together. Conventional multi-color printing often comes with a setback: more colors mean more time spent switching filaments and more material discarded along the way.

The K3 takes a different approach. Its KliTek™ four-nozzle system keeps different filaments ready in independent channels, allowing the printer to switch between nozzles in approximately 5 seconds while reducing the repeated purging required by conventional single-nozzle systems.

In Creality’s internal testing, this approach shortened total print times by up to 80% and reduced material waste by up to 85% compared with conventional single-nozzle multi-color workflows.

For makers, this means less time and filament spent on color changes, whether creating a personalized gift, a detailed display piece, or a batch of matching designs.

More Room for More Creative Possibilities

Beyond multi-color printing, the K3 is designed to grow with makers as their projects become more ambitious.

With optional accessories, its four-nozzle architecture supports different nozzle sizes within a single print, allowing users to combine finer surface details with more efficient internal structures. This gives makers greater flexibility to balance appearance, precision, and printing time without having to choose a single nozzle size for an entire project.

The K3 also offers an expandable path into multi-material printing. An optional top cover enables the use of engineering materials, while a dedicated TPU Kit expands compatibility to softer flexible filaments and soluble support materials. These options open up possibilities for projects that combine different material properties or require more complex structures.

U.S. Availability and Launch Offer

The Creality K3 is now available in the United States, starting at $849. Shipments of the first pre-orders began on November 2.

To celebrate the official launch, customers purchasing the K3 through November 30 will receive four complimentary rolls of Hyper PLA filament. Orders placed through Creality’s official online store during the promotional period also qualify for free shipping.

European availability is expected in December 2026.

For more information or to purchase, visit the Creality K3 official product page.

Performance figures are based on Creality’s internal testing. Actual results may vary depending on materials, models, and printing conditions. Advanced multi-material and mixed-nozzle capabilities require optional accessories sold separately.
