Additive manufacturing and Industry 4.0

• subjectSkills

  +LAB is the 3D Printing Lab of Politecnico di Milano and it is located in "Giulio Natta" building, together with Chemistry, Material and Chemical Engineering Department "Giulio Natta" .

  The laboratory is active since November 2013 when Marinella Levi and her collaborators started to employ engineers, designers, researchers and makers, to obtain a multidisciplinary approach to 3D printing in which teaching, research and design can melt together to develop towards material and technology innovation.

  New fields of application are being studied at +LAB, paying special attention to social and ambient implications. 

   

• subjectResearch activities

  +LAB is naturally inclined to change and innovation, and this is why we put such effort in keeping up to date with the fast technology development that 3D printing is experiencing in these years.
