The University of Brescia focuses its activities mainly on the Health and Wealth of people in the surrounding environment, through the integration of the cultural and scientific areas which are its hallmark, and the collaboration with national and international partners working in the health, economic-industrial and socio-institutional fields. The group of Mechanical Technologies now a 10 years’ experience in Additive Manufacturing various structures with complex shapes, mainly for bespoke medical applications. The group has a strong connection with the clinicians and biotechnologists of the University orthopedic and translational medicine clinics. The group has competencies in process optimisation and in the use of statistical tools (DoE, ANOVA) so to identify the best process parameters by conduct only the needed experiments. The cooperation between Medical and Engineering school it another positive aspects, since all the competences of Radiology and Biology groups will be available for the success of the project.

The Institute has gained an ISO 13485 accreditation for EBM Fabrication of Medical devices to enable its contribution to the medical implants research and development in Israel. It has now a 3 years’ experience in EBM manufacturing various structures with complex shapes, both for medical and for other applications.
At our disposal we have a fully equipped Mechanical testing Laboratory, with tensile/compression, fatigue (dry and wet), fracture-toughness, bending testing.
We have also a fully equipped Metallurgical properties Laboratory, with controlled cutting, embedding, grinding and polishing, optical and electron microscopy, with micro-analysis (EDS). Compositions analyses by OES, XRF, for metallic alloys composition, LECO O,N,H analyser, RETCH CAMSIZER X2 for powders quality testing will be used for the project.
