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 focus of the activity, inside the framework of the integrated knowledge centre UMA3 (Unique Materials for Advanced Aerospace Applications), is the development and test of advanced materials for powder metallurgy, additive manufacturing and...
ENEA-TEMAF offers a complete service for the development of advanced ceramic components obtained by 3D printing with the technique based on paste extrusion. The printable ceramic pastes are water-based and characterized by a low organic content (<3%)...
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...
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 development of new categories of fiber-reinforced composites aim to satisfy the necessities of transport and construction sectors, to increase both material performance and process sustainability. Since 2010, the laboratory has been developing...
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...
The use of advanced ceramics is continuously increasing thanks to their peculiar characteristics: lightness, high thermo-mechanical and tribological properties, low thermal expansion coefficient and chemical stability at high temperature or high...
ENEA, Faenza Research Laboratories, offers bioinert and biocompatible ceramic materials ( zirconia (ZrO2) e alumina (Al2O3) based composites), suitable to be applied in dental and orthopaedic implant sector and as surgical ceramic blades. ENEA has...
