lo di digitalizzazione. È probabile che la digitalizzazione
della supply chain sia già ampiamente presente in questo
gruppo ed è un’area in cui la stampa 3D sta aprendo
significative possibilità e non soltanto per quanto concerne
la cosiddetta “produzione on-demand”.
“La velocità e l’assenza della necessità di utensili che
caratterizzano la stampa 3D - spiega Esposti - eliminano
le barriere, proibitive dal punto di vista del tempo e del
denaro, rappresentate da impianto, avvio ed evoluzione
di un prodotto. Ciò significa che le aziende non sono più
soggette alle limitazioni imposte da lunghi cicli di produzione
o dalle esigenze di immagazzinaggio delle giacenze.
Le supply chain diventano così più snelle, accurate,
reattive ed economicamente convenienti, un concetto
che di certo ha fatto proprio un’azienda italiana innovatrice
nel settore della calce: QualiCal, che ha coniugato
questi vantaggi con l’opportunità di integrare le soluzioni
digitali al fine di rivoluzionare l’indicazione del livello
di pietra da calce nei forni industriali”.
“Di fatto - continua Esposti - l’integrazione tra sistemi
online, strumenti di automazione progettuale e piattaforme
di ordinazione presso stabilimenti di produzione
per la stampa 3D sta creando supply chain digitali che
rompono gli schemi in ogni senso.
La nostra collaborazione creativa con il pioniere del
settore ottico HOYA Vision Care ne costituisce un
“Customization has always been considered difficult and
at the same time hardly profitable”, Esposti stated. “The
fact is, today it has become an essential element. The high
degree of customization made possible by 3D printing, associated
to the improvement of production technologies,
converts, for instance, for a shoe manufacturer, in the advantageous
possibility of offering customized insoles; two
key players in the haute couture sector such as Miles and
Lineapiù can customize in an economically convenient way
the same materialism being used; a production tool maker
may offer tailor-made solutions for applications with a
short production cycle and capable of providing clients with
the advantages of customization. The number of business
opportunities which went from uncertain to advantageous
is really endless”. For over fifty years, Materialise has developedsoftwareandservicesfor3Dprintingwhichprovide
companies with the possibility of implementing innovation
in every single phase of their corporate activities.
As a manufacturing company - equipped with the world’s
largest 3D printing facility - software house and strategic
partner, Materialise has a very particular holistic vision, as
well as in-depth knowledge of the transformation properties
of 3D printing. “The MECSPE show - Esposti stated - aims
at exploring new technologies and at pointing out to different
industrial sectors the way towards innovations, which,
although they are on the cutting edge and even pioneering,
offer tangible advantages and a feasible path towards the
ambitions of Industry 4.0”.

Visitors of the MECSPE trade show have been able to discover,
among other things, all there is to know about the
range of 3D printing software offered by Materialise with
the Materialise Magics 3D Print Suite. Materialise Magics,
the powerful software for the preparation of data available
in the suite, is now also available in the Italian language
version.
In short, the software suite connects the additive production
process end-to-end, from design to quality control of
the printed part, besides offering a control of processes in
every single passage.
With Materialise Magics 3D Print Suite, manufacturers
may create projects for 3D printing, prepare files for 3D
printing, obtain the best possible results from their 3D
printer and manage the additive production process.
The most recent version of software for data preparation,
Materialise Magics21, has been equipped with advanced
instruments allowing to reach a high level of efficiency,
automation and integration of the workflow in the 3D
printing process.
“Providing Materialise Magics in a dedicated Italian language
version goes to show our trust in the fact that Italian
manufacturers will adopt additive production, both
for the development of new products or new revolutionary
business models, and to exploit fully the efficiency potential
within the manufacturing process”, Esposti concluded.
