As an engineering services and consulting partner, ITACAe benefits from a network of highly professional consultants and the disposal of CAE tools, thanks to agreements with the most important actors in the sale of services and SBE (Simulation Based Engineering) software.

ITACAe actively participates in associations like MESAP (MEccatronica e Sistemi Avanzati di Produzione), for technological innovation, CEI Piemonte (TPA, FC2C, TRA) for the development of business abroad in the aerospace, automotive, railway sectors; it is in the board of AITA (Associazione Italiana Tecnologie Additive), it regularly attends some of the most important initiatives on technology innovation and CAE (ICC, A&T, AM Meetings, SMAU... ); it exposed at the A&T and SMAU Turin 2015, winning the award Lamarck, as one of the three top startups at the expo.

ITACAe conducts research in collaboration with universities, manufacturers and users of traditional and innovative technologies for the identification, the study and the optimization of critical process parameters and at the same time contribute to the technological development. It participates to STAMP & SMART3D projects on AM metal & laser polymer technologies financed by Piemonte Region. ITACAe manages projects related to training, design, production, scanning & qualification of parts in metal additive manufacturing (selective laser melting) within the “ALI” Consortium with the “TAILORMADE” method.

R&D Project SMART3D

ITACAe is a partner in the "SMART3D" project, funded by the Piedmont Region

Smart Factory Technology Platform
POR FESR 2014-2020 - Actions I.1b.2.2 and 1.8.3

Polymeric devices production chain (SMART3D), leader SPEA S.p.A. (dd. 52 of 20/02/2018)

Implementation of an integrated production process based on the use of technical polymers, through the adoption of innovative techniques of Additive Manufacturing, Laser-assisted Welding and Automatic Testing Machines

By participating in the project, ITACAe has benefited from and contributed to improving the knowledge of the development process of "smart" products made with innovative technologies related to polymeric materials, such as additive manufacturing. It was possible to develop, apply and evaluate some innovative methodologies for the design, simulation and optimization of the product and the production process, such as topological optimization, generation of complex lattices and simulation of the FFF process.

R&D Project STAMP

ITACAe is a partner in the "STAMP" project, funded by the Piedmont Region

Smart Factory Technology Platform
MIUR - PIEDMONT REGION - Action 3 "Intelligent Factory"

POR FESR 2014-2020 - Actions I.2.2 and 1.8.3

Technological Development of Additive Manufacturing in Piedmont (STAMP), lead partner PRIMA INDUSTRIE S.p.A.

The STAMP project intends to develop and consolidate Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies within the Piedmontese industrial landscape, defining an entire optimized industrial approach dedicated to laser-based AM technologies for high added value metal components.

ITACAe, through participation in the "STAMP" project, was able to achieve the pre-established goal of developing innovative algorithms for the integrated design platform optimized for additive manufacturing "AMTOP®". It is expected that the returns and repercussions from the employment point of view from participation in the STAMP project will be reflected in the increase in staff dedicated to the development and marketing of services and software related to the DfAM (Design for Additive Manufacturing) methodology. These activities, as well as the implementation of the methodology internally and with customers, will require specific skills to be recovered on the market by hiring specialized personnel. ITACAe contributed and benefited from the acquisition of know-how on design and engineering specifications of components belonging to the types proposed by the end user partners of the STAMP project and the strengthening of skills in the methodological field for integrated thermal-structural analysis and topological optimization, of the PBF production process and of the physical and chemical characteristics of metal alloys.
