ITACAe

It was a real pleasure to be able to participate in this event by presenting an innovative application of SLM technology and DfAM methodology, participating in a very interesting debate on innovative applications of laser technology, meeting so many specialized experts. ITACAe could show the results of the activity related to the funded project "OPTIPOMIX" (OPTImisation of a POlyurethane MIXer) aimed at the demonstration of the feasibility and the capabilities of #DfAM (Design for Additive Manufacturing) methodology to define optimized geometrical parts, a polyurethane mixer, for thermal exchange effectiveness and lightening for application to a robotic arm. Many thanks to the EU-funded initiative PULSATE, a PAN-European Network designed to boost the adoption of #laser-based advanced technologies #additivemanufacturing (LBAAM) technology. Thanks to the all our project team members, experts in the industrial machine production sector (SPM Società Produzione Macchine s.r.l. with Andrea Martinello), of additive manufacturing (Maurizio Romeo 🎯), of thermal and structural engineering and optimization (Guido Servetti), Commissariat a l'Energie Atomique et aux Energies Alternatives, the technical (Laurent Jérôme) and business (Vicente Barbera Navarro) mentors.

As one of the beneficiaries of the EU-funded initiative called PULSATE, a PAN-European Network designed to boost the adoption of #laser-based advanced and #additive #manufacturing (LBAAM) technology, ITACAe is pleased to announce its presence to show the amazing results of the activity related to the funded project "OPTIPOMIX" (OPTImisation of a POlyurethane MIXer) aims at the demonstration of the feasibility and the capabilities of the #DfAM (Design for Additive Manufacturing) methodology used to define optimized geometrical parts: a polyurethane mixer head and a refrigeration block. The benefits are related to: #lightening, #robot, #thermal effectiveness. The activity has been carried out together with experts in the industrial machine production sector ( #SPM Società Produzione Macchine s.r.l. with #Andrea Martinello), of additive manufacturing (#T.O.B. ThinkOutsideTheBox di Maurizio Romeo), of thermal and structural engineering and optimization (Guido Servetti).

Complimenti a Lucia Loiodice e ad maiora! Grazie al suo lavoro di tesi, abbiamo potuto verificare l'efficacia degli algoritimi numerici integrati in #amtop (https://lnkd.in/dviEkqWb) per l'ottimizzazione del processo di #additivemanufacturing, tramite l'applicazione alla progettazione di parti di velivoli. ITACAe è fiera di essere al fianco di studenti, ricercatori, professori, team studenteschi, aziende partner per lo sviluppo delle competenze in aree tecnologiche innovative e di soluzioni ingegneristiche sempre più performanti.

On 30 and 31 October 2023, the "Additive Manufacturing in Space" workshop organized by the Italian Space Agency (ASI) was held in hybrid mode, with the aim of presenting, consolidating and promoting the Italian state of the art. In this occasion the scientific and industrial community could share the results acquired and discuss in view of future space missions. ITACAe was honored to participate in the event, contributing in the section "Additive Manufacturing in Space: open problems and innovative approaches", with a presentation of the implications and advantages of simulation and optimization of the additive manufacturing process in extraterrestrial space, entitled "AMTOP® Software for 3D Printing Simulation in microgravity conditions". Aspects to consider for AM at ng, with n<1: - distortions would be different because of lack of supports, there would be effects on the height of the printed part; - microstructure, mechanical properties and anisotropy of the material would be different with respect to the 1g condition; - supports should not be necessary; - AM feasibility to be characterized and standardization to be made; - metals and reinforced polymers need further experimentation and investigation to be characterized. Simulating the AM process in 0g condition. The 0g condition increases degrees of freedom during design and manufacturing of AM parts. As concerns manufacturing, the constraints of slicing the part through plane horizontal layers as well as the use of supports can be overcome. An optimized building approach can be used to distribute the material and the heat more uniformly so minimizing stress and distortion. Artificial intelligence combined with generative design can be used to define the optimal tool path to minimize process criticalities. https://lnkd.in/dyx6nm7w #additive_manufacturing #AgenziaAgenzia Spaziale Italiana
