3D food printing integrates the technology and techniques of 3D printing and additive manufacturing, together with gastronomy. Alongside Dutch research institution TNO (The Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research), the Italian pasta goliath, Barilla S.p.A., has developed a prototype 3D printer dedicated to the food market. Although the possibilities for this type of novel device […]
The ASP group developed their activity working in parallel with the S [m2] art research project, winner of the MIUR Smart Cities and Social Innovation tender (SCN_00325). In particular, starting from the same concept of S [m2] art, they had the task of designing some alternative proposals, even more innovative. The member group belongs to
Seeing the need to have more communication skill training done in the academic sector, gave birth to this project being recommended by IBM and further harnessed by the Alta Scuola Politecnica advisors. To explore the transition for this work, a multi-criteria analysis is performed. The first step is the Stakeholder analysis, necessary to deeply investigate

Climbing is a complex task, involving strength, balance and coordination. The performance of a climber is experience based and more insights in the mechanics of climbing could be gained by measuring the contact forces of the climber, for the centre of mass calculation in real time. A multiaxial load cell was developed to measure the

Profound and dramatic changes in the customer needs and requirements are shaping the mobility industry and new business models based on innovative products and service systems are arising in the market. Incumbents, e.g. Bosch, are looking for new opportunities to expand their customer base and product service portfolio. The project aims at defining the positioning
Nowadays, the increased competition on the global markets pushes companies to face the trade-off between volume and variety. Customers simultaneously ask for huge quantities and very specific product requirements. New strategies are required to keep high the competitiveness. This challenging context has lead Inkmaker to establish some ambitious objectives and envision the project MODULA. Inkmaker

The ongoing transformation of energy systems towards a decentralized production model requires a new centrality and active involvement of energy consumers (or prosumers) in electricity markets. The consumption behaviors should be adapted to market conditions providing savings to the customers and benefits to the energy system as a whole. Customer empowerment requires the adoption of
MInD is a proposal for the development of a new territorial and management model. Set in the regional territory around Cassano d’Adda, the project builds on the current state of industrial production and its traditional unevolved settlements, organised in rigid and separated clusters, by proposing a new model based on a network of hotspots enhancing
Climate change is happening now: temperatures are rising, rainfall patterns are shifting, glaciers are melting and the global average sea level is rising. Everyone seems to know about it, but unfortunately most of this common knowledge is based on misinformation rather than on scientific facts. The truth is that it is actually very difficult to

Nowadays, expected effects of climate change at local, regional and global scales endanger hydrologic budgets of Alpine regions. An example is the massive shrinkage of mountain glaciers, with the consequent problem of water resources reduction for civil population and ecosystems. Therefore, it is very important to monitor glaciers’ evolution, in order to allow an estimation
