Rapid prototyper

Three moments in the prototyper sequence: from a drawing generated in the CAD environment, the prototyper generates a plastic object, melted with a laser beam.

Intelligence, creativity and ability are some of the personal characteristics of Giuseppe Monti, the Group’s first member and current technical manager. He worked alongside Massimo Marchesini to implement the company plan and today is still the driving force behind its tireless technological innovation.

The constant development of original ideas and solutions is something that has always been a feature of company life. It is an ambitious result, achieved by investing in the latest instruments and dedicating a great deal of time and effort to research.

The company currently has more than 120 3D CAD workstations, all with "Pro/ENGINEER" software and many additional applications, including Pro/Sketcher, Pro/Part Modeling, Pro/SURFACE and Pro/Sheetmetal. Other applications, such as Pro/Mechanism, Pro/Meccanica, support design development, movement checks, structural calculations and dynamic speed, acceleration and force analysis.

Designers use the latest generation rapid prototyper to generate solid objects, even with complex shapes, from three-dimensional models produced in the CAD environment, before they are manufactured.

To allow prototypes to be developed and tested without interfering with the normal production cycle, an experiment room equipped with the most modern technologies was inaugurated in 2004 and staffed with a team to research and develop new solutions.

The current trend in packaging is represented by flexible mechanics. Aware of this, and with an experienced team of electronics experts and programmers, who have always traditionally worked alongside skilled mechanics, the Marchesini group is more ready than ever to encounter continuous changes in the market and handle them as a leader. Its ideas and products are increasingly revolutionary and successful.
