INOV.AM INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
Last week, the DONE Lab team participated in the INOV.AM International Conference, where we had the opportunity to present some of our groundbreaking research, solutions, and innovations.
Afonso Santos delivered a presentation on Robotic Extrusion-Based Additive Manufacturing for Urban Spaces: A Study of Materials and Large-Scale Production. His talk focused on the transformative potential of robotic systems in large-scale additive manufacturing, offering a glimpse into the innovative possibilities for urban applications.
In addition, the team shared new developments aligned with the conference themes and our ongoing research under the INOV.AM project. Topics ranged from hybrid and additive manufacturing systems to hybrid molds, hybrid products, and materials for additive manufacturing. Our contributions included the following poster presentations:
Carina Lopes: Evaluation of Tool Steel 1.2709 for the Production of Molding Inserts by Additive Manufacturing
Angela Rodrigues: Process and Structural Numerical Analysis of a Hybrid Product Using Additive Manufacturing Insert Parts in the Injection Molding Process
Artur Costa: Development of a Transportable Hybrid Process Device for the Laser-Assisted Reconstruction of Small Metal Molds
Bruno Coelho: Reducing Defects in High-Performance Plastic Parts with Hybrid Molds
Sérgio Rodrigues: Analysis of Polymeric Inserts with Different Surface Coatings for the Production of Reinforced PBT Parts in Hybrid Molds
Beyond our scientific presentations, several innovative solutions developed under the INOV.AM agenda were showcased at the conference exhibition booth.
The highlight of our participation came when Bruno Coelho was awarded Best Poster Presentation, a proud moment for the entire team and a testament to the significance of our research.
A big thank you to the organizers (including Antonio Pontes, Joana Soares, Rita Gonçalves, Beatriz Braga, Gonçalo Campos from the DONE Lab team), speakers, and attendees for making this event truly memorable. We’re excited to continue our research and collaboration under the INOV.AM agenda, contributing to the future of this transformative industry.
