The 3D MasterPrint printer - included in the Guinness Book of World Records - is able to create objects up to 100 feet long, 20 feet wide and 10 feet tall.

Built at the Ingersoll plant in Rockford (USA), it was designed mainly to make tools for the aerospace industry.

The University of Maine has recently purchased MasterPrint to make molds for the boat-building industry, which is really large in the state of Maine.

The university has already used the device to produce a 25-foot, 5.000-pound boat in less than 72 hours. The boat was launched Thursday 10th October in an ocean simulator and has the distinction of being the world’s largest solid 3D-printed item and largest 3D-printed boat.

Moreover, the university researchers are partnering with Oak Ridge National Laboratory to create a plastic that uses wood fibers in it, which is more environmentally friendly than material with carbon fiber or fiberglass in it.

Important players of the sector, like Marzoli, took part at the event as they have a significant role in the development of innovative technologies for the sustainability of the cotton-textile industry: Hugo Boss, Filmar Group, International Cotton Research Association – ICRA – ICAC, and Circle Economy.

The discussion developed around three strategic pillars of textile innovation:

• Smart and high-performance materials
• Advanced digital manufacturing, value chains and business models
• Recycling, upcycling and resource efficiency in fashion textile

Started from September 12, 2019, Fausto Villa – collaborator of  Camozzi Group – has been appointed President of the new FEDERTEC Association.

FEDERTEC is the national association resulting from the merger of ASSIOT and Assofluid. It represents the Italian industry operating in Mechatronics Technologies for Fluid Power, Industrial Components, Power Transmission, Control and Smart Automation of Industrial Products and Processes. The total amount of the industrial sector reaches more than 12 Billion Euros.

Camozzi Group is proud of the trust FEDERTEC associates have granted to Fausto Villa and wish him to be a successful support for the Association in achieving relevant goals.

A framework agreement for scientific collaboration has been signed by Lodovico Camozzi, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Camozzi Group, and Professor Ferruccio Resta, Dean of the Polytechnic University of Milan. Camozzi is an international group active in industrial automation, machine tools, textile machinery and raw materials processing.

Under the agreement both organisations will combine resources and skills to develop common research and training initiatives. The aim is to seize opportunities created by industrial digitalisation and collaborative robotics to develop smart solutions and innovative production processes.

The agreement is structured along three main lines:

• Maximising the use of collaborative robots on Camozzi’s own production lines, from component assembly to communication with the company’s MES for the optimisation of layouts and scheduling. Special attention will be given to intelligent task planning and the analysis of robot and operator interaction;
• Development of components, sensors and software for Industry 4.0 (I4.0) applications;
• Study and analysis of additive manufacturing processes.

Students and researchers from the university will operate from the Camozzi Research Centre in Milan, a new state-of-the-art facility with 3000sqm of industrial space and 3600sqm of offices and laboratories that has been created within Innse Milano – a Camozzi Group company. They will develop common study and research programmes and also seek to broaden the scientific horizons around these fields. Camozzi will also conduct research in many of its group companies around the world.

Camozzi Automation manufactures intelligent Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) components and already uses collaborative robots in its production systems. Under the agreement, it will focus on advancing intelligent components and I4.0 technologies for future production processes, along with the field testing of man-machine collaboration.

In relation to additive manufacturing, Ingersoll Machine Tools – an American company of the Camozzi Group – will build on its already considerable experience in producing 3D printing machines for use with the innovative materials used in aerospace, navigation, power generation and large scale industrial plants and infrastructure.

For the university Ferruccio Resta says: “The relationship between the Polytechnic University of Milan and business is strengthened today through this agreement with the Camozzi Group, a leading partner in Italy and worldwide in the field of industrial automation. Camozzi represents for our university an excellent example of a company that invests in research, promotes digital innovation processes within the production system and offers a unique opportunity to our students and researchers in a modern laboratory. With this collaboration our university will advance with some of the best skills sets in the region to achieve common development and growth goals.”

Lodovico Camozzi explains: “We are very proud of this important agreement with the Polytechnic University of Milan. It is of great strategic importance to our Group and ensures continuous progress both in the research and the design of production models based on the connection between physical and digital systems. It is a goal that can only be achieved through sharing our consolidated know-how of industrial processes and our continuous investment in technological content, with the important innovation cues that Politecnico’s work-teams will bring, to outline a development path towards 4.0 Manufacturing.”

Today at ITMA in Barcelona Marzoli - A Company of Camozzi Group - and the Cotton & Textile Industries Holding Company of the Egyptian Government have signed the agreement for the supply of Marzoli textile solutions to renewing the Holding Company’s spinning equipments plants.

The first meeting between Marzoli and the Holding Company took place in Cairo on April 15, 2019 with the presence of the President of Arab Republic of Egypt Mr Abdel Fattah al-Sisi

The project, which aims to promote the artistic heritage of the area in which the Camozzi Group has built its success story, was immediately supported by the Group.

The conservation of the statue, recommended by the Fondazione Brescia Musei (Brescia Museums Foundation) and the Municipality of Brescia, began in July 2018 with the transfer of the imposing bronze statue to the Opificio delle Pietre Dure (Workshop of semi-precious stones) in Florence.

The goddess carved in bronze in Roman times is inspired by a Hellenistic model from the 3rd century BC. The Vittoria Alata is one of the symbols of the Museum of Santa Giulia of Brescia, the ancient Brixia, most probably given to the city in 69 AD by the emperor Vespasian after the battle of Betriacum.

In addition to investigating the origins of the work, an interdisciplinary team of experts is strengthening the internal structure, reinforcing the wings and arms and removing encrustations and sediments. In February 2020, at the end of the work, the great archaeological bronze will no longer be in Santa Giulia, but in its place of origin, in the right-side cell of the Capitolium, on a special anti-seismic base.

Lodovico Camozzi, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Camozzi Group, commented:

"We are very proud to have taken part in the restoration of the Vittoria Alata and we are always ready to give back to the territory what we have received, to leave a legacy for future generations."

The Camozzi Group supports the mission of the Fondazione Brescia Musei and its ambitious challenge of making the splendid jewels of the Brescia area accessible to everyone, which is important to invest in to promote a culture based on knowledge and respect for the community's resources.

The operatic event, in the charming courtyard of Palazzo Zamara, was sponsored by Camozzi Automation and the Lanfranchi company.

Under the musical direction of Giuseppe Orizio and directed by Massimo Venturelli, the evening featured the Bolognese soprano Scilla Cristiano, the tenor from Palazzolo sull'Oglio Alessandro Viola, the baritone from Bergamo Marzio Giossi and the Colli Morenici orchestra.

Proceeds from the charity event (free admission, but donation recommended) was given to the Amici di Padre Riccardo association to finance the Itololo hospital, on the mission in Tanzania where the missionary Riccardo Caffi has been operating for about twenty years.

In 2011 the association committed itself to the project and built the Paediatric Department with the help of the Palazzolo Italian Alpine troopers group. The structure now serves 47 villages with 116,000 inhabitants.

In 2017, a collaboration with Pale Plus of Arezzo allowed them to send a gynaecologist and a pulmonologist to Tanzania to train health personnel. The objectives for the next two years are the development of the analysis laboratory and the implementation of the dialysis department.
