Microtronic Lab

Lab full name

Microtronic Laboratory

ERC 2nd Level Code

Research Activities

The Microtronic laboratory, operating in the scientific area of Manufacturing systems and technologies (ING-IND/16), is part of the Microtronic network of laboratories. It is aimed to mechatronic sectors which are characterized by an ever higher request for micro-components realized in a large variety of materials.

The research activities are focused on the combination of micro-milling and additive manufacturing technologies for the realization of 3D complex parts at micro-scale level. Microscope and profilometer for surface analysis are used for performance verification of the micro-machining processes.

The machines and measuring instruments present in the laboratory are well suited for feasibility studies and services aimed at local companies comprised in the mechatronic district and operating in the fields of precision mechanic, tool design and automotive and machine components.
