A collection of case histories of successful collaborations between High Technology Network Laboratories and businesses. These are tangible and customisable examples of the application of new technologies, products, or services that show how industrial research can meet the needs of innovation.
The use of 3D printing as a net-shape forming technique for technical ceramics opens the doors to the application of these materials even in sectors where high manufacturing costs prejudiced against their use. The most suitable AM techniques for...
DTM has developed a filling valve to allow gas, liquid or fuel filling for extra high purity and high pressure applications. Main characteristics are high robustness environemntal conditions and reliability together with very low leak-rates and...
Additive manufacturing (AM) affords design freedom, topological optimization and ability to develop material/component combinations with “site-specific” properties. AM therefore is an effective tool to meet the growing needs of both high...
The TEAM SAVE project (Enabling Technologies and Materials in Advanced Solutions for the Electric Vehicle) consists in bringing to the market new technologies aimed at integrating nano-materials, additive manufacturing and secondary raw materials...
The laboratory offers a solution to optimize flux-weakening control strategies for internal permanent-magnet synchronous machines, also used for light electric vehicles (e.g. motorcycles).
This activity focused on torque management during fast...
The laboratory has developed a set of IT tools to support public administrations in the implementation of energy refurbishment of school buildings to the status of Near Zero Energy Buildings (NZEB).
The "TEESCHOOLS" toolkit is designed to be simple...
Geopolymers are synthetic inorganic polymers based on aluminosilicates or phosphates and chemically bonded at T <300 ° C. This technology enables the production of materials with properties of certain ceramic materials with the same approach of...
This devices are miniaturized sensors able to provide extremely accurate pressure measurements. They are plane capacitors with parallel plates, whose capacitance has a non-linear dependence with the pressure. They can be implemented in applications...
The research has led to the development of high thermal conductivity screeds, able to optimize the performance of underfloor heating systems. The increased thermal conductivity fosters the heat transfer from screed to internal environment in terms of...
The mechanical characterization leads to define the limits of use of a material for a specific application, identifying its mechanical properties. This activity is performed as an essential part of the development of new processes and materials, and...

Following the damages recorded in prefabricated structures due to the earthquakes that took part in from the 20th to the 29th May of 2012, the CIRI (University of Bologna) was tasked to supervise the safety measures of prefabricated schools and gyms...
The researches activity has led to the development of a type of infill masonry blocks with high thermal-hygrometric performance, differentiated for thickness, internal layout and admixture, in order to ensure different performances as needed. Blocks...
The Green ceramic tiles made by 70% at least - and till 99% - of urban and industrial scraps. The production of these tiles contributes to the sustainable management of waste. The recovery of industrial scraps and materials such as packaging glass...
The seismic vulnerability assessment of existing buildings is particularly important for the analysis of the seismic risk on a construction in order to highlight structural problems and design appropriate strengthening interventions. The service...
Innovative concrete elements realized by dry pressing method, constituted by secondary raw materials up to 80% by weight. The elements, with dimensions of about 250 mm x 250 mm, are suitable for applications in traditional walls or ventilated facades...
The more recent seismic events have highligthed the seismic vulnerability of Italian masonry structures. Thus, it has become more and more important to adequately design and apply efficient strengthening interventions on masonry buildings. Among the...
