Archès Lab’s new ERC Proof-of-concept project on Cold Spray Repair (CoRe) is off to a great start in the month of January, with the kick-off meeting between our technical team and our business and innovation partner, DayOne.

This 18 month project aims to innovate the repair and regeneration of mechanical components using Cold Spray (CS) technology, incorporating analytical models and artificial intelligence. This innovation will significantly reduce post-processing, material waste and delivery times in the manufacturing industry, contributing to sustainability and accessibility in repairs through fully automated tools.

Archès Lab is grateful for the continuous support of the European Research Council (ERC) and the recognition of our ERC-PoC project Core, which is aimed at developing an automated and computationally efficient CS repair planning tool. We extend our gratitude to our business and innovation partner, DayOne, and our incredible team for their dedication and hard work. Without their efforts, these results would not have been possible.

This is a significant recognition that validates our efforts and inspires us to continue with determination!

Roberta Falco Awarded Prestigious A.I.D.I.A. Scholarship in Honor of Adele Racheli

In a ceremony at Politecnico di Milano’s Aula Magna, the Italian Association of Women Engineers and Architects (A.I.D.I.A.) presented the Adele Racheli Scholarship. This prestigious award, named after Adele Racheli—a trailblazing engineer and A.I.D.I.A. co-founder—was granted to our team member Roberta Falco.

Adele Racheli, a 1920 graduate in Mechanical Engineering from Politecnico di Milano, left an indelible mark on the engineering landscape. In 1957, she co-founded A.I.D.I.A., championing the cause of women in engineering and architecture. Racheli’s forward-thinking spirit was further embodied through her establishment of the Racheli Patent Office in Milan in 1925.

This represents not only an honor, but also creates a bridge between generations in the engineering and architecture community, paying homage to the visionary women who paved the way for future generations.
