USERM – IMPROVING TRADITIONAL PROCESSES THROUGH THE SEARCH AND INCORPORATION OF NEW RAPID MANUFACTURING APPLICATIONS

Rapid manufacturing techniques are strongly penetrating the market, particularly in the plastics sector and that of moulds. Techniques of rapid tool manufacturing or Rapid Tooling are becoming very important in this field and in the field of production of single metal items, metal inserts and parts of moulds. [...]

Development of a biodegradable film with biopesticidal/repellent properties

The main objective of the project is to develop a biodegradable film capable of progressively releasing natural substances with biopesticidal and repellent properties, which would protect banana crops from various pests that attack the fruit, and that would not be a source of pollution for the environment or a risk to health of farmers or consumers. [...]
