Ingersoll 3D Printer enters the Guinness Book of World Records

The mammoth 3D printer MasterPrint - created by the Machine Tools division of the Camozzi Group - is the world’s largest device that prints with plastic.

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.

Smart solutions for cyber - physical production systems

In the intelligent factory, ICT technologies no longer just support production processes, but are integrated into components, machines and environments that thus become intercommunicating and intelligent CPSs.

The project - financed by the Lombardy Region within the Research and Innovation Agreements framework - relies on various technological application keys in various operational contexts:

Smart components that self-diagnose their health
Smart machines that generate data to analyse their status, predict future behaviours and regulate themselves
Smart devices that facilitate human-machine interaction
Smart factories equipped with monitoring and tracking system (connected factory)

Partners

The project leader is Cosberg, the partners involved are: Camozzi Automation (Smart component group); Politecnico di Milano (Department of Electronics, Information and Bioengineering and Department of Management Engineering); University of Brescia and Bergamo; CNR-STIIMA (Institute of Industrial Systems and Technologies for Advanced Manufacturing) and other leading companies for innovation.

Smart4CPPS shares the mission with the partners to:

create a regional ecosystem of excellence that is a concrete expression of the Smart Factory concept
transform Lombardy into a hub for digitisation processes for Small and Medium Enterprises.

The sectors involved are the manufacture of metal products - which covers 17% of regional manufacturing - the manufacture of plants and equipment - about 4% of regional VA - and the textile industry.

Smart4CPPs was launched in March 2017 and will end in September 2020.
