The University of Pavia gained the second place at the NXP CUP Qualifications, an international self-driving car competition. The event took place in Grenoble, France.
On April 27th the team, formed by Francesco Maestri, Gabriele Mazzola, Zobeer Mohammad and Andrea Rossi, will participate at the EMEA (Europe, Middle-East, Africa) Finals in Munich, Germany.
This project, proposed by the Robotic Laboratory, was supported by PROTOLAB by producing some key components (i.e. the speed sensor, the camera support and led board) through 3D printing technologies.

Conference: 3D Printing in complex aortic desease
Prof. Ferdinando Auricchio and Dr.Ing. Stefania Marconi are going to join the “3D Printing in complex aortic disease” conference.
Press Review: 3DPrinting for Surgery with San Matteo Hospital
Vascular Surgery Department of the Policlinico San Matteo joined the 3D printing project run in collaboration with the University of Pavia, and in particular with the Proto-Lab directed by Prof. Ferdinando Auricchio. Over the last year, 20 cases of complex aortic diseases were investigated thanks to the 3D printed anatomic models, and this is the largest case study of Europe.
Based on the CT SCAN, a model that accurately reproduces the patient’s situation is 3D printed, and this helps doctors to practice before surgery. It this way, surgery time is reduced, as well as difficulties that may arise.
