Canopy Aerospace welcomes the Denver-area ACerS group for a private tour at 3:00pm on April 11, 2025, at its headquarters in Littleton, CO. Canopy is a next-gen manufacturer of ceramic components, both low density products such as thermal tiles for space re-entry and high-density components in advanced materials such as aluminum nitride. Canopy has ceramics 3D printers, thermal processing, casting and coatings equipment, a robot, and testing equipment in-house. The tour will last approximately 1 hour including Q&A with leadership from Canopy’s product development team, Charlie Fuller (CSM BS ’19, MS ’20).
