Protolab
ProtoLab is an engineering laboratory for university (pavia,italy) for the exploration of 3D printing, services, consult, projects, R&D, production, prototipyng, and more…
Thanks to our systems we’ve erected a large network through which we’ve developed important skills and innovative technologies.
The laboratory uses the experience gained from year of professional research and experience, combining it with production and Specific/Custom services to the client similar as Consulting, Training, 3D Product, Design Prototyping and much further.
3D4Med
3D4Med focuses primarily on the production of patient-specific anatomical models, reconstructed from the patient’s medical images, such as Computed Tomography or Magnetic Resonance Imaging. The virtual model can then be produced using various available technologies, depending on its intended use.
The most common applications include preoperative planning, surgical simulation, and training. The additive manufacturing technologies most frequently used for clinical applications are available on-site, but the laboratory also benefits from the technologies available at the Protolab and 3DMetal laboratories.
C3DLab
The C3D Lab was founded as a collaborative initiative established in 2018 by researchers from PoliMI, the IRCCS Policlinico San Donato, and the University of Pavia.
The C3D Lab conducts research in cardiovascular biomechanics, utilizing various bioengineering tools, including in silico, in vitro, and in vivo methods. Its main objective is to provide healthcare professionals with innovative resources to enhance the study of heart diseases and issues related to large blood vessels.
The lab aims to identify key risk factors that can aid in diagnosis and prognosis, as well as support the planning of surgical and percutaneous interventions.
The C3D Lab fosters collaboration between bioengineers and medical doctors, promoting synergy across different research areas at the IRCCS Policlinico San Donato.
β-lab
In recent years, our laboratories have gained extensive experience in the processing of various materials and in adapting printing systems to the processing of experimental, unconventional and innovative materials, in the mechanical characterization of 3D printed materials and in the application of 3D printing technology to different sectors, especially in the biomedical field.
Our laboratories are equipped with the following equipment and instrumentation:
Nume-lab
The Nume-Lab is a laboratory dedicated to hosting the HPC infrastructures of the CompMech group. The laboratory houses three HPC clusters dedicated to numerical simulations.
Mate-lab
The Material Mechanics Laboratory is designed to characterize the mechanical properties of a variety of materials (such as biological and bio-artificial materials, rubber like materials, shape memory allows), using specialized testing equipment and standard testing methods.
Activ-Lab
The ACTIVe Material LABoratory (Activ-Lab) is dedicated to the design, development, and testing of components made from active materials.
The research activities focus on characterizing the properties of active materials (e.g., shape memory materials) and their application to practical problems, such as soft actuation and neuro-motor rehabilitation.
The laboratory also offers cross-disciplinary educational opportunities, including thesis projects and hands-on laboratory activities within courses.
The lab is equipped with dedicated facilities and equipment.
