The service is made up of a team of 6 people who study the specific needs of each project to offer the best solution. To do this, it has the Processing Laboratory and the Additive Manufacturing laboratory.
Processing Laboratory
Processing of polymer materials, either in their native state or in mixtures with other materials or fillers to obtain composites.
Study of reactive processing in multi-component mixture.
Manufacturing of test tubes to study their properties.
Equipment
Electro spinning
Microextruder
Injector
Extruder (double screw and single screw) with accessories for blowing, film and pelletizing.
Kneaders
Hydraulic press
Additive Manufacturing Laboratory
Scanning and reverse engineering of parts.
Prototype design
Development of final parts and prototypes with polymers and composite materials of various kinds (nano and microparticles, fibers, ceramic fillers, etc.).
Equipment
Scanner for digitalization and reverse engineering.
3D filament printers (Raise3D E2 Double extruder and small format, DT60 Double extruder and large format, MiniFactory
Ultra High Temperature for technical materials).
Pollen HT (High Temperature) printer for technical materials in pellet format.
Laser powder sintering printers.
Stereolithography.
Multi-tool equipment with four heads: filament, pellet, electrospinning and syringe.
The additive processing and manufacturing service also has a Laboratory for the chemical, thermal and mechanical characterization of polymers, which is equipped with: FTIR-ATR spectrophotometer, optical microscope, Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC), Thermogravimetric Balance (TGA), test tube punch, thickness gauge, equipment for measuring Shore hardness and an INSTRON equipment for mechanical testing of traction, compression, torsion and bending.
