Polifactory @ European Maker Faire Rome 2015

Just six months after its inauguration, Polifactory puts on show its first activities at the 2015 edition of European Maker Faire in Rome (October 16th to 18th), the annual European edition of the prestigious exhibition dedicated to making, self-production and independent innovation. Polifactory has come to this first appointment bringing the very first demonstrators of its activities.

Talking about pre-incubation of talents, we’ll show the first MSc thesis developed in our makerspace. Margarita Medvedeva has designed and produced a series of custom soft caps for sport appare fully 3D printing, developed through testing a variety of different flexible materials using a Dremel Idea Builder 3D printer.

On the side of the experimental activities, we will exhibit the first results of the hackathon Interactive furniture, held in September 2015 and connected to the Design From Ideas To Market project, a series of activities funded by Regione Lombardia and Unioncamere with the participation of two enterprises – Manerba Spa, LuxSolar – and the Mobilitaly consortium.

The third work on show will be the Makers’ Inquiry report, developed by the Design Department in collaboration with Make in Italy Foundation – CDB and Make in Italy Association.
