Thanks to colored 3D printers everything can be replicated with a very high level of details.

From tailored-made prosthesis to anatomical models of human organs, 3D printed models are extremely realistic and useful to doctors who wants to do pre-surgical analysis of anatomical parts of human body.

The accuracy and time-less of models realization through Stratasys technologies and materials allows you to overcome any challenge.

Being able to differentiate details of human organs...... is crucial especially when it comes to blood vessels.

The advantages of using 3D print prosthesis are unquestionable. 3D printing technologies allows you to realize fully customized prosthesis based on patient's CT scan instead of standard prosthesis modified to fit every patient.

The realization of anatomical models allows you to carry out studies that can help surgeons to choose the most suitable operating strategy and to perform preoperative simulations that help to dramatically reduce the risk of error.

Skorpion Engineering ha realizzato per l’azienda Iride.ch un modello architettonico con l’utilizzo delle tecnologie di stampa 3D.

Si tratta di una rappresentazione 3D dell’area di produzione del Consorzio CO.MI.BIT. SA a Sigirino (Svizzera), specializzato nella produzione di asfalti fusi e miscela bituminosa calda, fredda e con materiale riciclato.

Questa esecuzione è nata dal desiderio e necessità di posizionare una rappresentazione tridimensionale del complesso produttivo al centro della sala riunioni per contribuire e stimolare la discussione e migliorare la pianificazione.

Le considerevoli dimensioni di 3 x 1 metro, la precisione progettuale e la disposizione realistica dei singoli elementi nello spazio, facilitano la visualizzazione e la lettura della proprietà.

L’azienda iride.ch sa di Giubiasco (Svizzera), attiva nel campo informatico, ha raccolto il desiderio del committente e incaricato l’architetto Alice Piazzoli, laureata all’Accademia di Architettura di Mendrisio (Svizzera), dello studio, progettazione e realizzazione completa del modello.

Per poter elaborare un modello in linea con la realtà, sono state utilizzate fotografie acquisite da drone e immagini aeree ortorettificate, effettuati rilievi in loco e consultate ulteriori immagini fotografiche che hanno ampliato le informazioni riguardanti i dettagli.

In seguito alla fase di acquisizione dati, è iniziata l’elaborazione in CAD 2D della planimetria della proprietà da modellizzare, comprensiva di edifici e terreno.

Si è poi passati all’elaborazione 3D in SketchUp di tutti i volumi che sarebbero successivamente stati stampati in tridimensione con la tecnica scelta: sinterizzazione di polveri di Nylon.

Una tecnica all’avanguardia per la creazione di volumi, che mantiene la massima precisione nei dettagli, utilizza componenti molto leggeri e resistenti nel tempo ed è di veloce realizzazione.

Gli elementi accuratamente stampati sono stati poi trattati e aerografati con vernici acriliche, in modo da ottenere una superficie perfettamente omogenea.

La rappresentazione del corso d’acqua è stata realizzata con l’utilizzo del plexiglass trasparente.

The BARILLA WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP 2017 event has just ended these days, during which we attended the award ceremony of renowned international chefs with the prizes made by Skorpion Engineering.

The awards, designed by Antonio Aricò were made with the use of latest-generation additive technologies such as Jet Fusion HP 3D.

The most important aspect of this project was the cure for the finishes and details, to give maximum value to the prizes.

In this project the tradition meets design and technological innovation to create objects with a unique flavour, but above all object Made in Italy.

Once again our company has demonstrated its ability to combine technologies and expertise in different areas and with different interlocutors, because our technology is available to all who believe in innovation, 3D printing and additive thinking.

Then I take the opportunity to invite all those who still believe in the development of Italian industry to invest and believe in companies that like Skorpion every day make their professionalism and technology available to designers, stylists, researchers and more.

Yesterday afternoon we ended our tour of appointments in our 3 major reference cities: Milan, Modena and Turin.

This time again it was a unique opportunity to present our company to those who do not know us yet and to strengthen the relationship with those who have worked with us for so long.

During the three days we have heard important characters in the 3D printing world such as Professor Marinella Levi of the Politecnico of Milan, Davide Ferrulli of Hp, our General manager Italo Moriggi and many others that I take the opportunity to thank publicly.

We communicate every day on the web through our social channels, our site on the advertising pages and much more but there is nothing to do, the human relationship is still important today more than ever.

The theme of the workshop was to highlight the benefits of additive manufacturing that in the last year grew exponentially due to the arrival on the market of the first 3D printer produced by Hp, a company that has always been the market leader for the sale of printers and PCs today it is also the world's leading 3D printing company.

Who is Skorpion Engineering and what it does?

We are a company that knows all the secrets of additive manufacturing and for this reason we can always guide our customers to the choice of technology that best suits their needs.

We are not a service like everyone else, we do not just print a piece and deliver it to the customer but we follow it from design to product finishing and assembly.

We in the house all not only additive but also traditional technologies such as milling, laser cutting, painting and this is precisely our strength, that's what allows us to be winners!

How do we see the future? The additive manufacturing will not only be used to make prototypes and presets but will be a faster and less expensive production system that is already shrinking the time to market at the supplain chain and the level of customization of each product.

One last point that affected our audience was the theme of weighing weights made possible by the design in additive optics combined with additive production.

If you are interested in our workshops send us your mail and you can be our guest!

5 reasons why it is more advantageous to produce additives compared to traditional production technologies 

 The rapid prototyping market is growing and has been the first market to discover the enormous benefits of 3D printing.

Today, the real breakthrough is in producing definitive pieces with additive technologies.

5 reasons why 3D printing is convenient

1. No equipment costs
2. Production speed
3. Reduction of costs
4. Ability to make changes to mathematics without interrupting production
5. Replacement of parts to be assembled since it is possible to rethink and produce them in one piece.

Today I want to tell you a real case, about a month ago we were contacted by a company for the realization of 200 parts to be assembled on a piece of production.

The customer had the following requirements:

• Good mechanical properties
• Good repeatability between the pieces
• Low costs

 
Thanks to Jet Fusion Hp technology, the parts were produced in just 7 hours and only 2 days passed from the customer's request to delivery

The characteristics of the parts produced with the jet fusion technology hp are comparable to a piece of production and shows the fact that many components of the printer itself were produced with jet fusion technology, with the following advantages:

• Elimination of the mold
• Realization of functional pieces
• Reduction of production times and costs
