Materializzando OFF 21 listopada 2019

Date: 26 September, 2019

Place: ENEA Faenza Laboratories (Italy)

The 26th September 2019 “Materializzando OFF” took place in Faenza. This event, with a focus on advanced materials and connected technologies, was promoted by the Emilia Romagna region as a part of the initiative “Emiliaromagna OPEN” funded by the EU. The scope of this event was the promotion and dissemination of the research activities towards the local community in order to put in evidence the high technological level of research institutions like ENEA and their connection with the industries. During the presentation of the activities, 3DMPWIRE was also illustrated as example of project with a clear impact on the improvement of the sustainability of traditional manufacturing process by means of introduction of additive manufacturing process at industrial level.
