Design and REsearch in Advanced Manufacturing (D.RE.A.M.) Design and REsearch in Advanced Manufacturing (D.RE.A.M.) Project of Città della Scienza is born with the aim to create a space entirely dedicated to innovation and fore- front digital manufacturing technologies. Set up with the contribution of the MIUR (Italian Ministry of Education) funding within the project “ CDS 2.0 - New products and services for the economy of knowledge . ” The D.RE.A.M. Project is an initiative that aspire to intercept opportunities for business, industrial and social development driven by the advent of digital technologies and advan- ced manufacturing. Counting on a surface wider than 1000 square metres the D.RE.A.M. Project, located inside the Science Centre of Città della Scienza, includes extensive areas dedicated to education, classrooms, the fabrication laboratory with the most innovative tools and ma- chines, spaces for the tests and prototyping and a wide co-working spaces. Its activities are managed through the FabLab equipped with the most forefront technologies and with a prestigious international team of professional experts, enabling the ofger of servi- ces and innovative solutions for digital manufacturing, coding, electronics, robotics and automation. The activities are structured as: • The high level education programme ( D.RE.A.M. Academy ); • The Fabrication Laboratory (D.RE.A.M. FabLab) endowed with the most advanced digital fabrication tools, electronics and robotics technologies; • The digital fabrication district ( D.RE.A.M. District ) that acts through the promotion of a consortium embodying institutions, companies and uni- versities; The D.RE.A.M. Academy The DR.E.A.M. Academy is a 12 months high education programme over the tech- nological sectors of Digital Fabrication, Advanced Manufacturing, Data Meaning and In-
ternet Of Everything. All the topics are applied to four industrial areas: Architecture and Construction; Biomedical; Fashion and Design and Aerospace. The attendants have the opportunity both to improve their computational and fabrication skills thanks to a presti- gious international faculty while developing a research project that will lead them to the creation of a prototype, result of their research project. The learning program The yearly programme D.RE.A.M. Academy involves students, graduates and profes- sionals coming from all over the world. The timetable contemplates 40 weekly hours of work divided into 5 days, from Monday to Friday, from 9:30 to 18:30. The attendance needs to be at least of 70%. The programme foresees 31 didactic modules divided into 8 macro areas counting a total amount of 1.935 hours 1.188 hours of frontal lessons and more than 846 hours of workshops realated to the following aspects: 1. Theory; 2. Digital Tools; 3. Digital Fabrication; 4. Abstract Presentation; 5. Business Development; 6. Advanced Computational Design; 7. Focus Design; 8. Applied Research; The academic year is divided into 3 parts. The fjrst part is based on basic theorical topics and notions for operating machines and software such as Rhinoceros 3D, Blender, Maia, Processing, Graphic Design, 3D scanning, Arduino, Milling Machine, Laser Cutter, 3D prin- ter, Antropomorphic Robotic Arms, Machines, etc... Once concluded the fjrst part of the programme, the attendants are invited to deepen their research abstract presented during the application ( see D.RE.A.M. call ). The know- ledge aquired during the fjrst block of the academy helps the students address more effjciently their projects. The focus on the abstract needs to be delivered to the D.RE.A.M. directors.
The direction board, together with the applicants, the professors and the specialist in all the Technological Sectors help to address the project in the 4 Technological sectors. In the second block the design aspects such as IoE, Advanced Grasshopper, Mechatro- nics, Processing OOP, Material Systems will be explored. These subjects are deepened in the focus designs connected to the four industrial fjelds: • Advanced Manufacturing in non conventional environment (aerospace); • Advanced Fashion and Design; • Advanced Fabrication for Architecture and Construction; • Digital Fabrication for Biomedical technologies; In the third part the research prototypes are developed and fabricated. During this time there are regular reviews and feedback moments. The programme is fully in English. Each module require an assignment the attendants must pass in order to move forward to the next module. Each of the 31 modules is divided into a part of lectures and a laboratory where students can put into practice the skills acquired. In fact, they have to respond to an assignement that will represent the confjrmation of the knowledge acquired and is crucial for advan- cement to the next module. The teaching modules of the second formative moment are activates only if they have at least one participant who present a research abstract in the corresponding Industrial Sector . Throughout the development of the education programme there will be events in which the students will have the opportunity to meet national companies with the aim of merging new inputs for further innovative improvements. The programme is enriched with lectures, symposium and workshops that allows the attendant s to expand theis cultural background in the above mentioned subjects. as well as insights as lectures and workshops that will allow the attendants to deepen the above said subjects. The D.RE.A.M. Academy will host activities organised in collaboration with the most innovative and more prestigious research centres that will involve the world of companies and business.
Objectives The D.RE.A.M. Project is to become an incubator for research projects. At the end of every academic year, the prototypes fabricated for each research will be presented and promoted during special events increasing the quality and the visibility of each project. These international and national events’ pursue the enhancement of the skills achieved by the participants and encouraging the placing on the market of the project. At the end of the education programme all the attendants will gain new skills and know- ledge related to the four industrial fjelds which will enable them to become profjcient and a potential leader in the mentioned subjects. Audience The D.RE.A.M. Academy is opened to students, graduates and professionals who wish to specialise their professional paths in the above said technological fjelds and industrial areas. The programme is also open to the companies aiming to develop a research that will enable them to achieve an innovative technological solution for their business. The Academy is generally open to all the interested subjects that are part of the EU, as well as those from non-European countries able to apply for an EU Study VISA. The Ad- mission to the D.RE.A.M. Academy is subject to the evaluation of the research abstracts presented, the skills and knowledge of all applicants. The attendants of the D.RE.A.M. Academy will be able to: • Increase their knowledge in cutting-edge fjelds; • Receive training from an International prestigious Faculty; • Develop their own research project using the latest fabrication tools; • Be in contact with companies and high profjle research institutions; • Get in touch with capital ventures for the development of their research; • Being part of an international innovation ecosystem; For the edition 2017/18, the D.RE.A.M. Academy has 50 places available.
