Thank you to all of you who joined us in Bonfiglioli this week for our event on Advancing Metal Surface Treatments with Nanotechnologies! Delighted to have this event in the EVO Plant in Bonfiglioli dedicated to #innovation in #manufacturing as part of the NewSkin OITB Final events' series. Thanks to Bonfiglioli for their warm hospitality and for offering an ideal context to deepen the results of the European project NewSkin OITB. It was a valuable opportunity to discuss the potential of nanotechnologies and their impact on tribological applications, textures and coatings, strengthening the collaboration between #industry & #research, to introduce the NewSkin Open Innovation Test Bed (OITB) facilities and services, our state of the art offering in the field of innovative tribological applications, textures and coatings for the automotive, gearbox manufacturing, and mechanical engineering sectors and the work conducted with our partner ML Engraving, and our Open Call Applicants; Tribonex, Graphene-XT and STS (including Simone Ligi , Paolo Giudici , Christian Kolar and Denis Romagnoli ). Thank you to also to NewSkin OITB partners ECCS and Confindustria Emilia Area Centro for organising.
