Low-magnification image (optical microscope) of the microstructure of the AlSi10Mg alloy produced by AM

Optimisation of heat treatment and coatings for additively manufactured mechanical components

From subtractive to additive manufacturing

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...

New techniques for robotic pick-and-place

Faster pick-and-place operation even with liquids

Motion planning for robotic manipulators is usually considered a problem with well-settled solutions. However, also in this field, new applications, often non-standard, pose new challenges. Among them, the transporation/manipulation of liquid...
