Aitem

Funded in 1992 as THE Italian Academia of

Production Engineering in the form of nonprofit association, is evolving as professional Society of Manufacturing Technology and Systems outlined in Fig. 1 fostering an articulation in sections, groups and observatories on strategic topics, like Additive Manufacturing.

The Aitem role for the

Additive Manufacturing development in Industry 4.0

Additive Manufacturing

Since the introduction in the late 80s and revamping in the current decade as AM, synonyms and

technologies (outlined in Fig. 2) keep adding to the family. Unprecedented choice of 3D shape, structure and texture is directly available by a connected AM machine from a digital product model.

Industry 4.0

The 4th industrial revolution is expected to impact production methods and business models currently used in industrialized countries by involving old and new cyber-physical systems and technologies

outlined in Fig. 3. AM methods and machines are key components ferried from 3.0, because of their still unexplored potential.

Lower profile (current)

- Basic cooperative research (funded projects)

- Applied research, with end users (industrial case studies)

- “Printing” services

- Dissemination (magazines, exhibitions, social etc.)

Higher profile (long term) - Training (Fig. 6.a)

- Becoming the (Italian) AM authority

- Merging with and incorporating similar organizations (Aita, Ciram etc.)

- Recruiting researchers from contiguous sectors (biomedical, civil, materials science etc.)

- Recruiting technology providers

** worthwhile if AM will really be a major technology of the future

[H2020, regional, self]

OPPORTUNITIES

Geographical barriers (north, center, south) and proximity

Company size (SMEs) Trust industry vs university

THREATS

Aitem AM for the Italian I4.0

STRENGTH

100 members, from most Universities and Polytechnics

WEAKNESSES

Small critical mass [20 active members] AM not primary topic

OPPORTUNITY Strong networking THREATS Limited impact not an excellence No Italian AM providers Aitem AM STRENGTHS

Better, more flexible products All digital process

WEAKNESSES

Early development stage Limited materials choice

(aerospace)

High investment cost Very low productivity

High (growing) interest Mass customization

OPPORTUNITIES

Rethink design and manufacturing

Niche (replacement) technology

THREATS AM for I4.0 STRENGTH Teaching is primary activity for Academia WEAKNESS  language: Industry & Academia Scouting possible cooperation OPPORTUNITY No overlapping interests THREAT Aitem AM Industrial Training
