3D printing device for numerical control machine and wood depositionIJERA Editor
The paper presents the development of a new sustainable approach in additive manufacturing adapted on a Numerical Control (NC) machining. Wood has several advantages that are transferable to various derivatives allowing the introduction of sustainable material into the product lifecycle. The application involves the integration of wood pulp into rapid prototyping solutions. Wood is the main material studied for its ecological aspect. The primary goal was to create reconstituted wood objects through a rapid manufacturing. Additive manufacturing technology is most commonly used for modeling, prototyping, tooling through an exclusive machine or 3D printer. An overall review and an analysis of technologies show that the additive manufacturing presents some little independent solutions [9] [12]. The problem studied especially the additive manufacturing limits to produce an ecological product with materials from biomass. The study developed a 3d printing head as solution for shaping wood pulp or powder materials. Some technological problematic require enslavement to the NC controller, the programming building of model, and the realization of wood pulp. This work also presents a wood pulping process characterized by adding wood flour and starch. A machine implementation and some application examples used for its development are presented.

NEW MATERIALS, NEW BUSINESS MODELS FOR SUSTAINABLE INNOVATION 2013Tracey Rawling Church
How can businesses use materials innovation to disrupt markets and create new revenue streams? What are the opportunities, and what are the challenges? Based on the experience of Kyocera, this presentation explores the application of new materials to solve resource efficiency challenges and facilitate new business models. Presented at Sustainable Innovation 2013, 4th November 2013.
Presently most electrical/electronic equipment (EEE) is not designed for recycling, let alone for circulation. Plastics in these products account for 20% of material use, and through better design, significant environmental and financial savings could be gained.
Technological solutions and circular design opportunities already exist, but they haven’t been implemented yet.
Some challenges, such as ease of disassembly, could be resolved through better communication and by sharing learnings across the value chain.
Instead of WEEE, we should focus on developing CEEE: Circular Electrical and Electronic Equipment.
The case examples of this report show how different stages of the lifecycle can be designed so that plastics circulation becomes possible and makes business sense.

Il documento raccoglie esperienze e buone pratiche di politiche di supporto all’attivazione e allo sviluppo di nuove progettualità e imprese gestite direttamente da giovani, evidenziandone le caratteristiche principali, e fornisce raccomandazioni e proposte rivolte a decisori politici europei per la creazione di nuove politiche a sostegno dell’innovazione proposta dai giovani.
Co-finanziato dal Programma di cooperazione transfrontaliera IPA Adriatico, il progetto Alterenergy mira a definire una strategia comune territoriale in campo energetico, che possa affrontare la sfida dei cambiamenti climatici ricercando un equilibrio tra gli obiettivi della protezione ambientale, della competitività e della sicurezza dell’approvvigionamento nell’area Adriatica.
The document summarizes the results of pilot projects and demonstrative actions implemented by the Alterenergy project. It describes two larger pilot projects conducted in Albania and Italy that demonstrated integrated energy efficiency and renewable energy solutions. It also describes seven smaller demonstrative actions conducted in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Greece, and Slovenia focusing on areas like public lighting, heating systems, and solar energy installations in schools and public buildings. In total, the projects implemented energy efficiency upgrades and renewable energy technologies in 18 schools, 4 municipality buildings, areas of public transport, and public lighting across the Adriatic region.

12. Knowledge about composite behavior and
predictive methods
• Composite materials are a product of human
ingenuity and not a natural product.
• Their behavior can not be represented with few
parameters. In addition, the behavior is strongly
influenced by the processes of production
• A correct approach of design and engineering of
composite parts is multidisciplinary
13. Typical design approach for composite materials
The integration of experimental
characterization and numerical
tools is essential to fully exploit
the potential of composites

19. Joining techniques
One of the limitations of thermoplastic composites is impossible to obtain
complex shapes as for the autoclave.
For these reasons it is of fundamental importance the definition of new
systems of junction with high performance.
CETMA has developed along with Sinergo a new machine for induction
welding of thermoplastics. In this technique an electromagnetic field at
high frequency is used to weld the thermoplastic component by the Joule
effect.

waste for other sector (i.e.
building)
CETMA carries out activities on
recycling processes, technologies
and new applications of recycled
materials
23. Bio-based Composites
Development of new bio-based
composites is a response to the
growing demand for so-called
environmentally friendly materials.
Bio-based composites can have matrix
and/or fiber coming from renewable
resources.
There is an increasing use of bio-based
composites in non-structural part in the
automotive
However, recent developments have
shown that some physical-mechanical
properties of biocomposites are
comparable with lower performance
composites properties (Glass FRP).
Typical Natural fiber
•Flax
•Cellulose
•Jute
•Hemp
•Coconut
•Bamboo
Example of Natural
Resin
•Pine oil
•Castor oil
•Soybean oil
Some applications in Mercedes
25. Smart materials
Cetma is working on processes
to integrate Bragg fiber into
composite materials in order to
detect continously structural
health
26. Conclusions
• Composite materials can contribute to make transportation more
sustainable
• Fully exploitation of potential and advantages of composites
• The full exploitation of the potential benefits of composite materials
requires an approach consisting of multidisciplinary and integrated
competencies
• In Apulia, Cetma has created a center of expertise capable of
addressing all the issues of product development in composite
materials. These skills are further enhanced by the network in
which this center operates as a connection link.

Editor's Notes
Sul tema dell'innovazione, molti clienti esprimono la seguente idea:
"Abbiamo l'esigenza di innovare, certo!"
"Ma non abbiamo tempo durante il processo di progettazione per esplorare nuovi percorsi o approcci…"
“…e se c'è il tempo, non abbiamo le informazioni giuste in tempo per decidere quale percorso seguire. Di conseguenza, la valutazione del rischio per tali decisioni risulta complicata."
Le nostre attività di ricerca e sviluppo sono coerenti con i trend tecnologici di tutte le nuove produzioni che si possono così sintetizzare:
prodotti più ecocompatibili
prodotti più efficienti energeticamente
prodotti sempre più intelligenti
prodotti sempre più interconnessi
Ogni nostro progetto riguarda almeno uno di questi obiettivi.
E’ evidente che per ognuno di questi obiettivi i materiali e le tecnologie dei materiali giocano un ruolo molto importante. Questo è vero non solo per i primi due obiettivi (su cui si dirà di più in seguito), ma anche per gli altri due dove oltre all’elettronica e all’informatica giocano un ruolo significativo anche le tecnologie dei materiali e non solo nelle fasi di produzione dei componenti e microcomponenti elettronici, ma anche nelle fasi successive di integrazione di questi componenti nei prodotti finali. Vorrei citare, a questo proposito, alcuni esempi che ci hanno visto impegnati come:
l’integrazione di fibre di bragg nei compositi per rilevare in continuo lo stato deformativo-tensionale delle strutture in cui sono inserite (un’applicazione interessante sia per le grandi strutture civili sia per il settore dei trasporti);
l’integrazione di tag e trasponder in materiali, componenti e prodotti che trovano innumerevoli applicazioni in prodotti e processi produttivi e che non mancherà di influenzare sempre tutto il futuro mondo dei trasporti.

Una tecnica molto efficace, innovativa e non distruttiva per la determinazione di danneggiamenti o difetti all’interno dei materiali compositi è la termografia a infrarossi. In questa tecnica è applicato un impulso termico al materiale da analizzare: misurando l’evoluzione temporale della temperatura sulla superficie del provino con una termocamera a infrarossi è possibile determinare la presenza di difetti.
L’utilità della termografia a infrarossi è dovuta principalmente a tre caratteristiche esclusive.
Possibilità di eseguire rilevamenti a distanza, senza contatto: si garantisce la completa sicurezza dell’utente e non si altera la misura come con i tradizionali sensori a contatto (termocoppie).
Bidimensionalità: l’immagine termica consente di avere un’eccellente panoramica del componente indagato.
Esecuzione in tempo reale: consente di eseguire scansioni molto rapide di soggetti fermi ed è possibile acquisire soggetti che si muovo ad alta velocità.
Danneggiamenti da impatto, delaminazioni, vuoti/distacchi, infiltrazioni di acqua/umidità sono fra i difetti rilevabili con una indagine termografica.
The RTM process has proven successful for the production of biocomposites linen / resin and cellulose bio / bio resin. The laminates obtained showed flexural properties comparable with those of composite glass fiber and epoxy resin bio. In particular, for equal resin laminates reinforced with cellulose showed flexural properties superior to laminates with glass. From the comparison of biocomposites result is that in the case of the cellulose will have static and dynamic properties higher than measured in the case of the reinforcement in flax.
Ultimately, the results suggest that composites reinforced with natural have the potential to replace traditional glass fibers in marine, civil and automotive industry.
Development of new bio-based composites is a response to the growing demand for so-called environmentally friendly materials.
Polymeric composites reinforced with natural fibers, or Biocomposites, constitute a possible alternative to conventional FRP composites, both for the renewable origin for both the costs, compared to composites made with conventional fibers (carbon, glass, aramide).
Use of biocomposites is limited to non-primary, because of their lower resistance and rigidity compared with the synthetic composite FRP. However, recent developments have shown that some physical-mechanical properties of biocomposites are comparable with those of conventional composites to lower performance, the FRP glass. A number of recent studies have reported the advantages of using natural fibers (flax, cellulose, jute, hemp, coconut and bamboo) and the possibility to obtain high specific properties [2].
From these considerations has kicked off a study, carried out at the Cetma, which has seen the use of the RTM process for the production of laminated biocomposite innovative in using an epoxy resin and a natural reinforcement (flax and cellulose) The mechanical properties in bending and impact of the panels produced in this way were compared with composite panels in glass fiber / epoxy composite and bio-based fiber flax / epoxy standard.
Sfruttano la compatibilità morfologica e chimica delle fibre ottiche con i materiali FRP garantendo:
Funzionalità sia di rinforzo che di monitoraggio
Protezione del sensore durante l’installazione
Maneggevolezza e facilità di installazione
Proprietà delle fibre ottiche:
Possibilità di monitoraggio strutturale a lungo termine (nessuna ricalibrazione)
Trasmissione del segnale a lunga distanza
Insensibilità alle perturbazioni elettromagnetiche
Buona resistenza alla corrosione
Punti di misura multipli con la stessa fibra
Settori di utilizzo:
Nautica, aeronautica/aerospazio, energie rinnovabili, ingegneria civile
