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.
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...
Despite a vast and heterogeneous tangible cultural heritage such as the Italian one, cultural operators still denounce the lack of innovative tools able to facilitate the management of huge amounts of data and to integrate the various heterogeneous...
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...
