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.
Plasma-assisted Ionized Jet Deposition (IJD) is a technology enabling the fabrication of surface coatings from various materials. Its operating principle involves a pulsed electron beam striking a target material, causing its pulverization and...
Many machines have a noise emission largest of 80 dB (A) at the workplace and therefore carry a risk of moise exposure for workers; the demands of the market are to be more and more towards a noise level less than this threshold, thus the...
The assessment of product quality using objective techniques and the identification of defects or malfunctions during testing play an increasingly dominant role in enterprises. These objectives may often be pursued by studying the vibratory signal...
Especially over the last few years, the aspects connected to vibro-acoustic issues have been playing a key role within the design pathway of industrial products and machinery. In particular, following regulations that limit the emission of vibration...
Tissue engineering is a multidisciplinary sector of biotechnologies which paves the way for new treatment options and better quality of life for patients. Tissue engineering techniques entail the use of biomaterials and scaffolds that must meet...
Remote monitoring and control of automatic machines and systems is one of the most interesting ICT application sectors at industrial level. The i-Maintenance platform by CenTec allows monitoring and control, diagnostics and prognostics, configuration...
The new method makes it possible to reconstruct hollow shapes, namely the inner surface of a prosthetic socket, starting from the images photographed from various viewpoints using a common camera. The software allows a three-dimensional model to be...
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...
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...
