The mechanical shopfloor works in synergy with the adjacent Additive Manufacturing laboratory in order to support the Institute’s researchers in the production, assembly and testing of prototypes and devices conceived and designed in-house.
The mechanical shopfloor is equipped for the processing of metal materials, performed on manual and numerically controlled machine tools, and for the assembly and testing of prototypes, including large ones. It also features equipment dedicated to the manufacture of moulds and components in composite materials, mainly pre-impregnated carbon fibre, using out-of-autoclave curing techniques.
