Description
Mission: to create a multidisciplinary Additive Manufacturing research platform with the aim of dealing with and overcoming the open challenges, in terms of machines, materials and applications, and of contributing, together with other industrial actors, in the development of new generation systems destined for final production from the Industry 4.0 viewpoint.
The acquired knowledge represents an optimal starting point to begin a new and more ambitious route.
At Politecnico di Torino, the first studies related to AM were carried out by the DIGEP research group of Prof. IPPoliTO and Prof. IULIANO in the early 90's, when layer-by-layer technologies were renowned as Rapid Prototyping (RP)…
