RAS Reports and Case Studies

Training on wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM), with emphasis on wires for wire EDM. Training on micro wire EDM.

Training on sinking electrical discharge machining (EDM), with emphasis on electrode materials for sinking EDM. Introducing micro EDM milling.

The study requested is a preparation for a possible research and development project of a product that can perform fast separation and inactivation of biological fluids. Proteins, peptides and metabolites are rapidly degraded after extraction, which causes large problems for both academic and industrial protein research. In this study, Imego will investigate the feasibility of fabricating low-cost glass and polymer chips that combine microfluidic separation with Denator’s proprietary preservation technology.

Autostamp is a SME specialising in sheet metal working for the automotive industry that has had long term collaborations with the University of Naples Federico II in the above mentioned fields. Autostamp recently submitted a technological enquiry regarding the identificaion of problems in micro feature characterisation in sheet metal products for car body parts.

Lasit is a high tech SME specialising in development and applications of Nd:YAG laser system for the mechanical manufacturing industry that has had long term collaborations with the University of Naples Federico II in the field of laser manufacturing applications. Lasit recently submitted a technological enquiry regarding the identificaion of problems in the development and optimisation of Nd:YAG laser systems for micro fabrication processes such as micro drilling and micro engraving for the mechanical and aerospace industries.
