Grand Opening 3DMetal@UniPV
The 3DMetal@UniPV Laboratory will be inaugurated at the Department of Civil Engineering and Architecture (DICAr) of the University of Pavia on December 6th, 2018 at 12:00 pm.
The 3DMetal is a new DICAr Additive Manufacturing Laboratory, equipped with a metal 3D printer with powder bed laser melting system (Renishaw’s AM400, Renishaw®).
The 3DMetal@UniPV aims to print metal components with an innovative design and to carry out research activities on devices optimization and additive manufacturing process simulation.
The laboratory is born from the synergy between two manufacturing companies, Fluid-o-Tech and La Marzocco, and the group of Computational Mechanics and Advanced Materials (DICAr).
The team: Dr. Gianluca Alaimo, Dr. Stefania Marconi, Dr. Simone Morgantiand Eng. Alberto Cattenone.

Prof. Auricchio @ National Academy of Sciences
During the second annual assembly of the National Academy of Sciences, held on November 6, prof. Ferdinando Auricchio from the Department of Civil Engineering and Architecture of the University of Pavia held the lecture entitled “3D printing: an enabling and fascinating technology. From the science of materials to modeling, from surgery to civil engineering”.
Prof. Auricchio was nominated National Member (in “supernumerary”) in 2018.
The National Academy of Sciences was founded in 1782 on the initiative of Antonio M. Lorgna, mathematician and hydraulic engineer, together with the forty most eminent italian scientists, including Lazzaro Spallanzani, Alessandro Volta, Lodovico de Lagrange, Ruggero Giuseppe Boscovich: hence the current name of “Società dei Quaranta” (today “Academy of the XL”).

3D4MED – 3D Printing for Surgery: A new technology for an effective and customized surgery!
On October 29th, 2018, 3D4MED was inaugurated at Fondazione I.R.C.C.S. Policlinico San Matteo of Pavia.
3D4MED is the first 3D printing clinical laboratory in Italy; it is equipped with different 3D printing technologies able to create patient-specific anatomical models for surgical planning, training and simulation, and to develop patient-specific instrumentation and innovative prototypes.
The laboratory was born from the collaboration between the group of Computational Mechanics and Advanced Materials, coordinated by Prof. Ferdinando Auricchio, Department of Civil Engineering and Architecture of the University of Pavia, and the Unit of General Surgery II of the Policlinico San Matteo, directed by Prof. Andrea Pietrabissa.
3D4MED team is formed by: Eng. Stefania Marconi, who directs and supervises all the laboratory activities, Eng. Valeria Mauri and Eng. Erika Negrello.
