A class from Colombini High School in Piacenza is visiting us on Tuesday, December 20th, to learn about our innovative 3D printing techniques in aid of surgery. We’re conducting the visit in English as part of the Meet the Scientist project by Cultural Association “Il Mondo di Tels” in partnership with The Original History Walks® and Universitiamo, the University of Pavia crowdfunding platform.

3NTR Company participated to the Virtual Modeling and Additive Manufacturing Course with a lesson on FDM printings, getting the attention of all the course participants.

The lesson covered the basic principles of the FDM printing process. Starting from a correct object design, through a CAD software, the participants learned the main concepts of FDM printing process and the concerning issues, in order to carry out the printing in the most effective way.

We are pleased to announce that the collaboration between Compmech Group, San Martino Clinical Institute of Genova and Cardiatis Company is successfully continuing. Cardiatis, an innovative medical company located in Belgium, is focused on developing a novel platform of endovascular prosthesis dedicated to aneurysm and dissection. Our group member Alice Finotello has been invited by the company as visiting guest last October.

Monday, October 24th. A workshop on “3D Printing of concrete elements” will be held by our PhD student Valentina Mercuri for the students of the Oskar Von Miller Forum program, Münich.

In the last few decades AM has changed not only the production paradigms, but also the distribution chain with new implications from a technological, social, economic, and legal point of view. In architecture and civil engineering, it is expected that such approach will reduce costs and the production time leading to much freedom on design of shapes. The aim of this workshop is to give an overview on the “state of art” of AM and 3D printing, with a particular focus on its application and impact in the construction field. A description of the current applications of AM to civil engineering will be presented followed by an introduction of a novel approach for the fabrication of RC members based on 3D printing technology.
