La terza rivoluzione industriale,
una nuova prospettiva
per il nostro paese
Speaker |
Ing. Giuseppe Catalfamo
Ha conseguito la Laurea Magistrale in Ingegneria Gestionale
comprensiva del Percorso di Eccellenza in Energy Management, presso l’Università Carlo Cattaneo - LIUC.
Dal 2011 ha svolto attività di ricerca presso la LIUC - Università Cattaneo, sia all’interno del Lab#ID (laboratorio per il
trasferimento tecnologico sui sistemi RFId), occupandosi in
particolare di analisi di processo, sia al CETIC (Centro di Ricerca per l’Economia e le Tecnologie dell’Informazione e della
Comunicazione) per lo sviluppo di algoritmi di simulazione.
Da circa dieci anni svolge inoltre attività di consulenza
nell’ambito dell’analisi dei processi aziendali per diverse
aziende del varesotto e per l’Associazione Piccole e Medie
Imprese della Provincia di Varese.
Dalla fine del 2013 è il Coordinatore di SmartUp – Laboratorio Fabbricazione Digitale, il progetto attivato alla LIUC in
collaborazione con l’Unione degli Industriali della Provincia
di Varese.
Abstract|
La vicenda umana si è sviluppata nella relazione dinamica tra bit (prodotti e gestiti da menti
umane) e atomi (manipolati per migliorare le nostre condizioni di vita) che hanno generato
cambiamenti nella logica della produzione e le cosiddette rivoluzioni industriali.
Un nuovo cambiamento in questa relazione sta avvenendo adesso, e con questo anche una
nuova rivoluzione industriale: la terza. Alla sua base ci sono la prototipazione digitale e la
stampa 3D che stanno aprendo nuove opportunità per fare innovazione tecnologica, per fare
impresa, per fare politiche industriali.
Come la stanno affrontando le imprese? Quali pro e quali contro hanno riscontrato quelle che
hanno già introdotto la fabbricazione digitale nei loro processi, e quali esigenze e dubbi manifestano quelle che vi si stanno avvicinando solo adesso? Dove effettivamente si sono ottenuti
i maggiori benefici?
Le risposte, raccolte di prima mano durante mesi di contatti e attività a financo delle imprese,
le fornisce un osservatorio privilegiato, quello del laboratorio di fabbricazione digitale nato
alla LIUC – Università Cattaneo proprio per volontà dell’Associazione degli Industriali della
Provincia di Varese con l’obiettivo di includere le proprie imprese tra i protagonisti di questa
Terza Rivoluzione Industriale.

Summary
•
Sizing requirements need standardization for a given alloy
and laser bed machine model – beneficial effect on price
•
Alloys designed for cast/wrought but used for AM may need
tweaks to chemistry targets to improve weldability and
mechanical properties.
•
Reusing powder, although providing economic benefits, has
to be seriously considered with regard to oxidation and other
contamination pickup from the operation and powder
handling that could jeopardize the properties.
•
When specifying an oxygen requirement, the basic capability
of the powder process needs to be considered.
•
AM test results for 718 show considerable promise

Geometria del componente – Superfici a sbalzo
Slide 8
Geometria costruita verticalmente
Funzioni dei supporti:
• Dissipare il calore
L’angolo limite a cui si può
costruire senza supporti è
approssimativamente:
• Fissare il componente alla piattaforma
Cobalto Cromo: 45 °
• Prevenire le deformazioni
• Supportare le superfici a sbalzo
Inconel 718: 45 °
Inconel 625: 45 °
SS316: 45 °
Ti6Al4V grado 23 Eli: 30 °
Possono comunque essere costruiti brevi tratti non supportati anche oltre l’angolo limite ma
in queste aree si otterrà probabilmente una scarsa finitura superficiale.
14/10/2014
Slide 9
14/10/2014
Slide 10
Supportare le zone a sbalzo riduce le possibilità che una costruzione possa fallire.
Ottimizzando il design di un componente l’uso dei supporti può essere ridotto o
eliminato.
Strutture a sbalzo (overhang)
Ogni nuovo layer necessita di essere supportato
dalla piattaforma di processo o dal layer
solidificato sottostante.
Riduzione del tempo e del costo di lavorazione
L’immagine mostra zone del componente che:
• sono costruibili senza supporti (verdi)
• potrebbero essere costruite senza supporti
(gialle)
• non possono essere costruite senza supporti

Geometria del componente – Fori
Fori/ tunnels
L’immagine mostra come un foro (o la sezione di un tunnel) è costruito in un processo strato su
strato.
L’entità delle deformazioni nei fori circolari dipende principalmente dalla loro taglia, e varia
inoltre per materiali differenti.
Come regola generale, i fori con un diametro inferiore a 10 mm si possono auto-supportare
senza originare distorsioni visibili a occhio.
Il quarto superiore del foro orizzontale sarà costruito con un angolo di sbalzo molto basso.
Necessita di essere supportato altrimenti presenterà una deformazione.

Tensioni termiche
Tensioni termiche
L’AM è essenzialmente un processo di saldatura, tuttavia il diametro dello spot del
laser di 70 µm è molto piccolo e perciò la densità di energia trasferita è molto
elevata.
Questo può portare a stress in grandi sezioni o in componenti con variazioni di
sezioni trasversali.
Piegatura dovuta a tensioni termiche
Una grande sezione XY accumula
tensioni durante il processo.
14/10/2014
Separazione del componente dai
supporti causata dalle tensioni termiche.
Le tensioni tendono a sradicare dalla piastra il componente a
partire dalle estremità, causando incurvamenti.
Slide 19
14/10/2014
Tensioni residue
Slide 20
Tensioni residue
Sezioni lunghe e spesse possono essere
mantenute fissate alla piastra usando supporti
più larghi o più fittamente distribuiti.
Questo comporterà ovviamente l’impiego
di un tempo maggiore per le operazioni di
rimozione dei supporti.
Quando si costruiscono componenti con sezioni
molto spesse è consigliato utilizzare piastre più
alte, per evitare deformazioni dei componenti e
delle piastre stesse.

Strutture reticolari
Regola generale = 8:1
14/10/2014

Slide 23
Slide 22
Le strutture reticolari sono esenti dalle normali restrizioni di progettazione. Per via del loro
volume ridotto non accumulano tensioni termiche e non necessitano di supporti neanche
per le aree a sbalzo.

Pareti con sezioni sottili
Operazioni di finitura
Pareti con sezioni troppo sottili non riescono
ad auto-supportarsi dando origine a
fenomeni di instabilità superficiale.
Collettore con spessore parete 200 µm
• Distesione termica delle tensioni
• Pallinatura
• Sabbiatura con ossido di alluminio e/o di zirconio
• Lucidatura
Eccessivo rapporto altezza / larghezza
• Negli inserti e utensili di precisione prodotti per AM
generalmente viene applicato un sovrametallo di
0.2 mm per consentire successive lavorazioni
meccaniche di rettifica.

Design originale
Ottimizzazione topologica
• Volume componente – 129 cm³
• Volume supporti – 5 cm³
• Dal greco Topo, strada o percorso: percorso ottimale per i carichi.
• Un software iterativo calcola il materiale minimo per resistere ai carichi
massimali e rimuove il superfluo (Altair’s solidThinking Inspire 9.5).
• Il risultato del processo è la soluzione più efficiente per far scaricare al
materiale il carico impostato.
• Non è necessariamente ottimizzato per
essere costruito
• Occorre rimodellare la texture della
superficie

AM =
• Titanio Ti6Al4V
• Elevato rapporto resistenza/peso
• High Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS) > 900MPa
1) Rullo libero di muoversi sul piano
2) Barra di acciaio applicatrice del carico
3) Sospensione vincolata fra reggisella e forcella posteriore
4) Perno fisso sul piano
L’obiettivo del progetto è di produrre una bici completamente
funzionante, per questo motivo la staffa reggisella è stata
testata secondo lo standard EN 14766 usato per tutte le
mountain bike.
Il componente ha superato il test resistendo per 50000 cicli a
1200N. Il test è stato prolungato fino a 6 volte lo standard
senza arrivare a rottura.

Dai primi anni 90, il gruppo di ricerca di Advanced Manufacturing TECHnologies
(AMTECH) del Politecnico di Torino è interessato alle tecnologie di Rapid
Prototyping.
Le attività di ricerca sviluppate nel corso degli ultimi anni, riguardano i campi più
differenti, dalle applicazioni spaziali a quelle dentali, alla produzione virtuale per
tecniche innovative di controllo qualità.
Nel corso degli ultimi venti anni, le attività di ricerca hanno seguito da vicino lo
sviluppo delle tecnologie additive dal Rapid Prototyping, passando per il Rapid
Tooling and Rapid Casting sino ad oggi con l’ Additive Manufacturing.
Oggi, le attività di ricerca sono focalizzate all’applicazione delle tecnologie additive e
quindi all’analisi di processi esistenti in termini di ottomizzazione del processo,
miglioramento della qualità della parte e nuove applicazioni o prospettive
futuredelle tecnologie additive dal punto di vista del fruitore finale e di nuovi
utilizzatori.
Il gruppo AMTECH ha esperienza nel campo della riprogettazione per AM di parti in
materiale metallico.
In riferimento alle limitazioni dovute alla presenza di supporti, sono state analizzate
le prestazioni meccaniche e le potenzialità geometriche.
OBIETTIVI

•
Realizzare un completo modello termico di simulazione capace di rappresentare
il processo EBM e rispondere in modo corretto a diversi parametri di processo
Utilizzare il modello per esaminare ed approfondire differenti scenari «what if»
Utilizzare la simulazione come strumento di supporto decisionale per migliorare
le performance del processo, con l’individuazione dei parametri di processo
ottimali.
La simulazione del processo può fornire utili informazioni rispetto alle criticità
del problema fisico, agli effetti dei parametri di processo e la loro interazione, e
le caratteristiche dinamiche del processo.

Meccanismi fisici durante il processo EBM
La ricerca sul processo EBM è recente. Dal 2004 meno di 50 pubblicazioni
scientifiche vs circa 150 pubblicazioni inerenti a processi di AM per i metalli
Gli studi riguardano:
• Studi teorici sulle caratteristiche del processo (diffusione delle polveri)
• Indagini metallografiche su campioni EBM (18 pubblicazioni)
• Un unico rilievo sperimentale durante la lavorazione (Zäh e Lutzmann,2009)
• Modelli numerici puramente termici convalidati sulla base di sperimentazioni
con fascio laser
• Un unico tentativo di simulazione termomeccanico (convalidato con confronto
con dati di Electron Beam Welding)

Design: based on topological optimization
Machines: DMLS & EBM are special process
Put material only where it is needed…
Special process are to be qualified
• AM allows to put material directly in the right place instead of removing it only
where possible
Task
− no joints, screws and nuts or flanges
− replacement of ‘solid-body’ parts with reinforced structures
− add as many stiffening ribs as required
Milestones

SYSTEM Qualification
• Reducing assembly requirements
− integration of multiple part numbers in one
− reliability increases: less part count means less unique failure points

SPINE FUSION
INTERBODY VERTEBRAL CAGE
1
10/11/2014
An inter body fusion cage (colloquially known as a "spine cage") is an
implant used in spinal fusion procedures to maintain foraminal height
and spine decompression,
There are several varieties
changing from the material to
the shape depending on the
anatomy segment to be
treated.
In past the cage was made in
titanium realized by drilling
full bars.
Such implants are inserted when the space between the spinal discs is
distracted, normally in combination with screws and rots, the cages are
cylindrical or square-shaped devices, and usually threaded.
Today the market leader are
the cage made in PEEK due
to the fact that the PEEK
have almost the same
compression rate than the
natural bone, have no
radiologic
artifact
(they
insert marker to understand
the cage position) but!!!
the peek have no bone
grown integration, and the
SLEEP OFF of the cage
should happen also after a
long period from the implant
the disadvantage of a full body titanium cage was the strength that was too hight and in some
case was damaging the bones, moreover the radiologic artifact was often not clear due to the
heavy mass of the titanium cage, for that reason recently the manufacturer turn the cage
production to a “new” polymeric material :
PEEK
THE INNOVATION:
Thank’s to the new MLS technology we integrate the
advantages of the both material leading the market.
From the titanium we took the osteo integration, the
bone growth capacity, and part of the radiolucent
factor.
From the PEEK we keep the flexibility.
The result is a full range cage
catalogue with:
- Perfect osteo integration with
an incredible bone growth
factor
- Perfect flexibility that simulate
the bone elasticity and facilitate
the bone integration.
- Perfect radio visibility to
facilitate the surgical placement
and the radiology control after
surgery.
- Perfect anatomic shape and
stand alone effect that limitate

Instrumented Indentation Test
Basic principle
IIT employs an hardware similar to the
hardness test device. Unlike hardness
tests, instrumented indentation tests
requires high resolution sensors to
continuously record the loads and the
displacements during loading and
unloading. The resulting indentation
curves (ICs) are post-processed to
extract indentation properties such as an
equivalent Vickers hardness together
with so called indentation hardness and
indentation modulus, Martens hardness
and indentation works.

ALMA – Additive Layer
Manufacturing Adoption
Abstract|
Una delle prime esperienze europee
di adozione di tecnologie additive
in produzione
L’intervento di “Nofrill -professionisti senza fronzoli” illustra l’esperienza
nell’iniziativa ALMA (Additive Layer Manufacturing Adoption) per molti versi
unica nel panorama Italiano ed in Europeo: un progetto di adozione di tecnologie di manifattura additiva direttamente in produzione, per un grande gruppo
Aerospaziale presso uno dei suoi stabilimenti in Italia.
Verrà quindi descritto in sintesi la nascita dell’iniziativa ed il progetto di fattibilità concluso, con le sperimentazioni (prototipi) e gli strumenti (metodologia AMALFI – Additive Manufacturing Assessment for Lean and Fast Introduction e busines plan a corredo), che hanno consentito l’avvio della fase di
realizzazione attualmente in corso, con significativi investimenti associati ad
un piano di trasformazione industriale.
Verrà quindi presentata l’iniziativa ALMA nella prospettiva di Centro di Eccellenza per lo sviluppo dell’Additive Manufacturing nel distretto Aerospaziale,
attraverso una innovativa architettura di “Cloud Manufacturing”.

ALMA – Additive Layer Manufacturing Adoption
RM Forum - 26 set 2014
Nofrill solo professionisti per Grandi Aziende
Nofrill è nata nel 2009 solo per servire Grandi Gruppi Industriali.
La formula è semplice: Professionisti che han già fatto ciò che c’è da fare
Nofrill è un network di Professionisti: il vantaggio di non avere una struttura fissa
– Ingaggiare le risorse più adatte allo scopo, avendo l’opportunità di disegnare e costruire
il team o la soluzione dopo una prima analisi.
– Le consulting blasonate, per quanto grandi, usano un insieme limitato di
dipendenti/consulenti: molto spesso è il cliente che si adatta e che “insegna” al
consulente come affrontare il problema sul quale dovrebbe essere d’aiuto.
Professionisti “ad hoc”: hanno una o più esperienze su... quel che c’è da fare
– Nofrill nella sua, pur breve, storia ha accumulato referenze e specializzazioni, ma la
forza sta nel selezionare e ingaggiare le persone giuste per un incarico specifico.
– Passaparola e Social Network (Linkedin): oltre 400 professionisti prequalificati.
Specializzazioni consolidate
– ICT-Business advisory (sourcing, capitolati, sicurezza, trasformazioni, etc.)
– 3D Printing & Additive Manufacturing (studi fattibilità, progettazione,
sperimentazione, strumenti, supporto alla industrializzazione, etc.)
– Automazione aziendale (sviluppo rapido automazione processi in mobilità)

Manifattura Additiva: la prossima rivoluzione industriale
INTRODUZIONE INIZIATIVA ALMA
Esistono tecnologie particolarmente innovative che non apportano un
miglioramento incrementale, ma operano un cambiamento radicale di
approccio permettendo un vero e proprio salto di prestazioni:
 Uno dei principali trend nel settore manufacturing è rappresentato dall’introduzione delle
tecnologie di stampa industriale 3D, denominata anche Additive Manufacturing (AM), che
sta prendendo piede soprattutto nel settore Medicale e Aerospaziale: serie limitate ad
elevato valore.
 Questa tendenza come di consueto è sia una opportunità (attese):
 benefici competitivi per i pionieri: aumento produttività, riduzione costi, drastica
riduzione lead time e migliori prestazioni prodotto/servizio.
 … che una minaccia (rischio):
 Le aziende che non presidieranno questo cambiamento rischiano di andare
incontro all’obsolescenza di macchine, processi e competenze, con conseguente
perdita di competitività e rischio di sopravvivenza.
 Per queste ragioni MBDA Italia intende muoversi con decisone, anticipando gli eventi
e mirando a migliorare, nel breve periodo, la propria competitività. Lo Studio
Sperimentale è il primo passo concreto in questa direzione.
 Il progetto, denominato ALMA (Additive Layer Manufacturing Adoption) mira a creare in
Campania dapprima un sofisticato laboratorio (AMLab) per le tecnologie di stampa
3D e, successivamente, un nuovo reparto di produzione (AMProd) che sfrutti
queste tecnologie.

La rivoluzione silenziosa della logistica
3D Printer in a Box: Allestimento di Shelter attrezzato per luoghi remoti
Immaginate un tecnico in una zona di guerra
inviando una e-mail con una scansione digitale di
una parte inutilizzabile di un veicolo corazzato
che poi viene stampato e rifinito alla più vicina
base logistica nelle retrovie con servizio stampa
3D, così da essere consegnato al richiedente in
poco tempo.
Questa soluzione può forse ridurre al minimo la
necessità di trasportare e mantenere grandi
scorte in zona di combattimento. Questa
rivoluzione è in atto in modo molto silenzioso ed è
probabile avere implicazioni di vasta portata per
la supply chain e gestione della logistica delle
forze armate.
BACKUP
Ebbene la soluzione esiste già ed è stata impiegata in Afghanistan dall’esercito americano (Kandahar
and Bagram Air Base). Non è difficile tuttavia immaginare il medesimo impiego per usi anche civili (si
pensi ai settori delle infrastrutture, costruzione centrali energetiche, Oil & Gas, Protezione civile, etc.)
Queste e altre riflessioni portano a concludere che la stampa 3D è già in grado di alterare le modalità di
approvvigionamento e logistica, nel settore della Difesa e in molti altri settori.

•
Extremely fast beam translation with
no moving parts
•
High beam power -> high melt rate
(up to 80 cm3/h) and productivity
•
Vacuum process -> eliminates impurities
and yields excellent material properties
•
High process temperature (650 ºC
for titanium) -> low residual stress
and no need for heat treatment

The available beam power restricts build area and build rate
The need for higher electron beam current is thus twofold:
• More power for heating to enable larger build envelope
• More power to enable more Arcam MultiBeam™ spots
•
The FastEBM project also developed
a powder-based interaction model,
based on the Lattice Boltzman Method,
to support EBM process development
•
Development partner: Erlangen University
• An EU FP7 project, FastEBM, has developed a prototype
electron gun for EBM with more than three times higher
beam power than for current systems
•
The prototype gun is under testing on an Arcam Q platform
to evaluate potential for system development
• Project aim: 2D  3D

Founded in Switzerland in 1995, BinC Industries SA
has developed a proprietary precision surface finishing technique, the Micro Machining Process (MMP
Technology).
MMP Techology makes it possible to obtain super
finished surfaces by selectively removing specific
ranges of roughness. Unlike traditional polishing,
MMP differentiates itself by its ability to finely control
the material removal process. MMP can deliver finely
controlled surfaces ranging from matte to brilliant
mirror-like finishes. MMP’s advantages include reporductibilty, homogeneity, precise preservation of the
exact form of the part and predictable costs.
MMP Technology is highly effective across a wide range of
materials, including :
- steels (carbon, stainless, tool, alloy),
- copper, nickel and titanium alloys,
- carbides, ceramics,
- inconels,
- precious metals (Gold, Platinum, …),
- MIM, CIM and Additive Manufacturing,
- PVD/CVD coatings.
BESTinCLASS’ 7 key markets are :
Aerospace/Forge, Stamping and Die/ Luxury Goods/
Medical/ Plastic Injection Molds /Cutting Tools
/ Transmissions. Partner of the most demanding
manufacturers in the world, BESTinCLASS can meet
the exacting standards of its customers, thanks to its
permanent investments in R&D.
Fondata in Svizzera nel 1995, BINC Industries SA ha
sviluppato una tecnologia brevettata di finitura di precisione, il processo di lavorazione Micro (Tecnologia MMP).
MMP Technology permette di ottenere eccellenti superfici
finite rimuovendo selettivamente specifici assortimenti
di rugosità. A differenza della lucidatura tradizionale,
MMP si differenzia per la sua capacità di controllare con
precisione il processo di rimozione del materiale. MMP è
in grado di fornire con precisione superfici con finiture
che vanno da opaco al brillante a specchio. I vantaggi di
MMP includono riproducibilità, omogeneità, la precisa
conservazione della forma esatta della parte e costi
prevedibili.
La tecnologia MMP è altamente efficace in una vasta
gamma di materiali, tra cui :
- acciai (carbonio, inossidabile, strumento, in lega);
- leghe di rame, nichel e titanio;
- carburi, ceramiche;
- inconel;
- metalli preziosi (oro, platino, ...);
- MIM, CIM e di produzione di additivi;
- rivestimenti PVD/CVD.
I 7 mercati fondamentali di BINC Industries sono: Aerospaziale/ Forgiatura, stampaggio e tranciatura/ Beni di
lusso/ Medicale/ Stampi per iniezione plastica /Utensili da taglio/ Trasmissioni. Partner dei produttori più
esigenti al mondo, BINC Industries è in grado di soddisfare gli standard di qualità dei suoi clienti, grazie ai suoi
investimenti permanenti in R&D.

We are the innovators that you can
count on
Ever since Wilfried Vancraen started
Materialise, he and all of us who work
here have dedicated ourselves to be
the innovators that others can count
on. Now, after more than 20 years of
hard work and successful collaboration with others, we are happy to report that even those who never heard
of Materialise have probably been
touched by the work made possible by
our products, services, and solutions.
Through our work with Additive
Manufacturing (AM), also known in
the popular media as 3D printing,
Materialise is helping bring great
ideas to life. We work with others to
put great products aimed at niche
markets directly into the marketplace
as well as helping make the prototypes of products later manufactured
by the millions. What’s more, through
our software, we enable others to do
the same with their own AM equipment and services. Our software is
also powering new innovations in
biomedical research, helping others make discoveries that save lives.
Furthermore, we are taking patientspecific healthcare to new heights by
working closely with surgeons for the
planning and execution of complicated surgical procedures. Our work with
surgeons and the improved medical
solutions being created with our software are getting people back on their
feet, and putting smiles back on patient’s faces. Our own in-house need
for automation, process optimization,
traceability, and quality control in
our prototyping and manufactur-
ing facilities, as well as our role as a
trusted software partner for hundreds
of companies within the AM industry,
have year after year, developed the
expertise of our software division
and contributed to the leading role
we play in optimizing AM processes.
Materialise is also putting the power of
Additive Manufacturing into the hands
of everyday people. With an easyto-use online service, now anyone
can create a truly customized object,
whether they are experts at computer modeling or beginners who are
discovering 3D printing for the first
time. We have also challenged some of
the world’s top designers to use this
technology in the creation of an award
winning line of 3D printed objects
available for sale worldwide…or from
our own store in Brussels, the world’s
first store dedicated to 3D printed design. We are Materialise and we are all
around you, making the world a better
and healthier place to live.
Siamo gli innovatori sui quali potete contare
Dal quando Wilfired Vancrean ha
creato Materialise, ci siamo dedicati
ad essere innovatori sui quali gli
altri possono contare. Oggi, dopo
più di 20 anni di duro lavoro e di
collaborazioni di successo con altri
parnter siamo felici di poter dichiarare
che anche coloro i quali non hanno
mai sentito parlare di Materialise sono
probabilmente entrati in contatto
con il lavoro reso possibile dai nostri
prodotti, servizi e soluzioni.
Attraverso il nostro lavoro con la
produzione Additiva (AM), nota
anche ai media popolari come stampa
3D, Materialise aiuta a dare vita a
grandi idee. Lavoriamo con gli altri
per portare grandi prodotti destinati
a settori di nicchia direttamente
sul mercato, e sostiene altresì la
creazione di prototipi di prodotti che
saranno successivamente prodotti a
milioni. Attraverso il nostro software
permettiamo agli altri di fare lo stesso
con i loro dispositivi e servizi di
produzione additiva. Il nostro software
sta anche alimentando importanti
innovazioni nella ricerca biomedica,
aiutando gli altri a fare scoperte che
salvano la vita. Stiamo portando a
nuove vette cure sanitarie specifiche
lavorando a stretto contatto con i
chirurghi nella pianficiazione ed
esecuzione di complesse procedure
chirurgiche. Il nostro lavoro con
i chirurghi e le migliori soluzioni
mediche create tramite i nostri
software stanno aiutando le persone
a guarire, ridando il sorriso ai
pazienti. Anno dopo anno, le nostre
esigenze interne di automazione,
ottimizzazione di processo,
tracciabilità e controllo qualità nelle
nostre strutture di prototipazione
e produzione, oltre al nostro ruolo
come fornitori software di fiducia per
centinaia di società nell’industria della
produzione additiva hanno consolidato
le competenze della nostra divisione
software contribuendo al nostro ruolo
chiave nell’ottimizzazione dei processi
di produzione additiva.
Materialise sta anche mettendo il
potere della Produzione Additiva
nelle mani delle persone comuni. Con
un servizio online facile da usare,
ora chiunque può creare un oggetto
personalizzato, sia esperti nella
modellazione sia principianti che
stanno scoprendo la stampa 3D per la
prima volta. Abbiamo anche sfidato
alcuni dei progettisti più famosi a
usare questa tecnologia per creare una
linea di oggetti 3D che ha vinto molti
premi ed è disponibile per la vendita
in tutto il mondo… o presso il nostro
negozio a Bruxelles, il primo negozio al
mondo dedicato al design stampato in
3D. Siamo Materialise e vi siamo vicini
ovunque, per rendere il mondo un
posto migliore e più sano in cui vivere.

www.protoservice.it
Protoservice was born in 1997, when in Italy rapid prototyping was at the beginning. At present, fifteen years from
its foundation, it is possible to understand how the search
for quality, the ongoing experimentation of new materials
and innovative technologies has enabled Protoservice to be
a technological partner for many companies that have understood the benefits of rapid prototyping. Throughout the
years, the company based in Parma, having as its precise
goal the creation of a consolidated collaboration relationship with its customers and in order to respond to increasingly different and articulate issues, has invested greatly,
extending the range of offered services. ProtoService was
one of the first companies to promote rapid manufacturing with DMLS technology for the manufacturing of
final parts in metal alloys. The parts manufactured with
DMLS technology show physical features and mechanical
properties comparable to those obtained with traditional
technologies, but they can have especially complex geometries with undercuts and cavities without the need for
post-treatments. The evolution from rapid prototyper to
rapid manufacturer is part of the more recent history, but
it is already a consolidated technology for Protoservice that
feels is ready for new challenges. Currently, Protoservice’s
machine park consists of one Q10 Arcam EBM machine to
which it will add another by the end of September 2014,
four EOS laser systems, one of which is newly installed,
two Renishaw systems which will be added a third in end of
September 2014.
To this is added a wire cutting machine for cutting support
and grinding equipment for the plates. The purchase of a
vacuum furnace dedicated to the processing of titanium is
in the definition phase, which will be installed by the first
quarter 2015.
Protoservice nasce nel 1997 quando, in Italia, la prototipazione rapida muove i primi passi. Oggi, a quindici anni dalla
fondazione, si comprende come la ricerca della qualità, la
continua sperimentazione di nuovi materiali e di tecniche
innovative, abbiano consentito a ProtoService di essere
partner tecnologico di molte aziende che hanno compreso i
benefici del rapid prototyping. Nel corso degli anni l’azienda
parmense, avendo come chiaro obiettivo la creazione di un
consolidato rapporto di collaborazione con i propri clienti e al
fine di rispondere a domande sempre differenti e articolate,
ha investito con forza ampliando la gamma dei servizi offerti.
ProtoService è stata tra i primi a promuovere il rapid manufacturing con tecnologia DMLS per la produzione di parti
definitive in leghe metalliche. I pezzi prodotti con il processo
DMLS mostrano caratteristiche fisiche e proprietà meccaniche
sovrapponibili a quelle ottenute da tecnologie tradizionali,
ma possono avere geometrie particolarmente complesse,
con sottosquadri e cavità senza l’ausilio di post-lavorazioni.
L’evoluzione da rapid prototyper a rapid manufacturer fa
parte della storia più recente, ma è già tecnologia consolidata
per Protoservice che si ritiene già pronta a nuove sfide.
Attualmente, il parco macchine di Protoservice è composto da
1 macchina EBM Q10 Arcam a cui se ne aggiungerà un’altra
entro fine Settembre 2014 , 4 sistemi laser EOS, di cui uno di
recente installazione, 2 impianti Renishaw cui se ne aggiungerà un terzo a fine settembre 2014.
A ciò si aggiunge una macchina taglio a filo per il taglio dei
supporti e un’attrezzatura di rettifica per le piastre. E’ in
fase di definizione l’acquisto di un forno sottovuoto dedicato
al trattamento del titanio, che verrà installato entro il primo
trimestre 2015
