We are pleased to announce that the course “Virtual Modeling & Additive Manufacturing” organized by Prof. Ferdinando Auricchio will begin on October 31^st 2017. The course aims at providing the theoretical basis of 3D printing, in response to the increasing demand from industrial, civil engineering, architecture, and medical application fields. In the context of 3D printing, basic classes on materials, theoretical and virtual modeling, potential applications, impact on business models and competitiveness are taught.

Tenova, specialized company in innovative solutions for metal and mining, is ready to introduce a widespread experimental factory with 3D metal printing technologies, in collaboration with the Politecnico of Milano, the University of Pavia  and other companies. The ProtoLab, directed by Prof. F. Auricchio, will participate to this important project.

The goal of the pool of participating companies is to manage an entire production cycle, from the liquid metal to the finished product, using emerging Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies.
