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 Proto-Lab Laboratory performs innovation, research and technology transfer activities to support SMEs in various sectors on national interest in the CAD/CAM technology sphere, with a special focus on CAD 3D modelling, rapid prototyping and...
The experiences accumulated within the MUSP Laboratory in the field of redesig and, more broadly, design of structural parts of various types of machine tools, with conventional materials (especially electro-welded steel) and innovative ones such as...
Direct Laser Hardening (DLH) in numerical control machining centres is a process to superficially harden mechanical components at the end of removal processing and directly on the machining centre where they have been made, thus avoiding induction...
The need has recently arisen in the industrial sector to provide systems and products with operative autonomy. For instance, in the field of logistics, automatic forklifts (AGV, Automatic Guided Vehicle) handle goods in total autonomy. The DIRO’...
The development of customised test benches for R&D laboratories addresses the need by Businesses to reduce the time for new products' development and improvement of existing ones. To this end it is essential to have tools with a user-friendly...
Graphene is currently one of the most extensively studied materials in the world, both at scientific and industrial level. It consists of microscopic sheets of carbon atoms, having the thickness of a single atom and a lateral size which may reach...
The design decisions of many small and medium-sized companies that produce turbomachines in specific sectors are based more on experience than on an analytical approach. In fact, fluid dynamics simulation software often requires very costly licences...
In the industrial realm it is now possible to have large amounts of data in various applications, from process monitoring to adaptive control. This “data rich” environment is mainly supported by two factors: the continuous development of high...
A new way of conceiving assembly instructions for the operator: augmented reality applied to the industrial sector. Parts and assembly stage automatic recognition, interactive instructions, animations superimposed on reality, speech synthesis and...
