Speaker: Serena Graziosi, Politecnico di Milano, Milan, Italy - "Making the artificial and natural worlds coexist in harmony"
ABSTRACT
Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies have further unlocked the possibility of enriching the artificial world with shapes, materials, and functionalities whose complexity strives to mimic that of the natural world. We can significantly increase the added value of a product in terms of performance and uniqueness, leveraging AM design potential and exploiting nature-inspired solutions. The lecture will overview how we leverage these new design opportunities to advance the artificial world and the open challenges to address toward this target. However, it will also highlight our role and responsibility in making that advancement coexist harmoniously with the natural world inspiring us.
