Materials

The application of innovative multifunctional materials represents one of the best opportunities to increase the performance level of the machining systems.

MACH4 Lab develops advanced material solutions tailored to machine tool structures and components in order to optimise the final quality of the products and reduce the machining times.

The proposed solutions aim at reducing the main machining errors due to static, dynamic and thermal behavior of the manufacturing systems.

MACH4 Lab provides advanced, cost-effective and highly integrated product – process solutions based on fiber reinforced composites, metal and polymeric foams, multifunctional sandwiches and smart materials, a deep analysis of requirements, material performances and constraints permits MACH4 Lab to propose the most effective solutions through an organised program of prototype design, building, testing and industrial development and application.
