Questa tesi analizza il ruolo centrale che ricopre il fenomeno della stampa 3D, attualmente una delle più importanti innovazioni tecnologiche del mondo, e come il suo sfruttamento in campo medico potrebbe condurre ad una nuova era. I giornali internazionali l’hanno già definita come la rivoluzione industriale del futuro, e da questo assunto parte l’intera ricerca. Lo scritto si propone quindi di fornire un quadro generale e un’analisi critica delle caratteristiche e dell’applicazione del 3D printing nel settore medicale nel panorama attuale e futuro. Il primo capitolo è dedicato alla comprensione approfondita del concetto di stampa tridimensionale e di produzione additiva. Dopo aver esaminato analiticamente la tecnologia delle stampanti 3D, si procede in maniera più critica e riflessiva con la definizione del 3D printing dal punto di vista innovativo, la sua situazione nel mercato, italiano e mondiale, e le figure coinvolte. L’obiettivo dei primi due capitoli è quindi quello di costruire la base di conoscenze necessarie che consentiranno poi di capire e affrontare il tema principale di tutta la ricerca presentato in seguito. Nel terzo capitolo, infatti, viene trattato l’argomento saliente dello scritto: il 3D Printing applicato al settore medicale, con particolare attenzione all’incredibile e inarrestabile sviluppo che sta affrontando oggi il bioprinting. Ci si soffermerà sui vantaggi che la stampa 3D può apportare in campo medico e tuttavia sul lungo percorso che ancora deve compiere per esser ritenuta rivoluzionaria. A supporto di questo assunto, si illustreranno tra le realtà più significative in Italia e casi studio specifici con relative interviste dei maggiori protagonisti italiani nel settore. In ultimo poi, a chiusura della tesi, un esposto più progettuale, che vedrà il terzo capitolo visualizzato all’interno di una mostra. La mostra viene virtualmente allestita in concomitanza con la XXI edizione dell’ Esposizione Internazionale che per il 2016 la Triennale di Milano sta organizzando, intitolata “21st Century. Design After Design”.

Abstract
This thesis analyses both the central role 3D printing phenomenon has, as by now one of the most important technological innovations of the world and how the use of it in the medical field could influence and lead to a new age. International journals have already called it “the future Industrial Revolution”; the entire research starts from this assumption. The text intends to provide a general picture and a critical analysis of the 3dprinting in the medical field features and implementation, both for the present and for the future. The first chapter is about an in-depth comprehension of the 3D printing concept and additive production. After being examined analytically this technology, the 3D printing is analysed with a more critical and reflective overlook from the innovative point of view, its Italian and global market position, and the people engaged. The aim of the first two chapters then, it’s to supply the basic knowledges necessary to understand and to manage the most important topic of the entire research following. The third chapter in fact, is about the main topic: the 3Dprinting within the medical sector, and in more detail the nowadays incessant and increasing development of the bio printing technology. These benefits that 3D printing will be able to achieve will be examined as much as the time it still has to take to be considered “revolutionary”. In support of this assumption will be quoted and analysed the most relevant Italian realities about 3d medical printing, making use of case studies and interviews of the most connected emergent people. At the end of the thesis, the last forth chapter is about the project that visualises the theory of the third one into a virtual exhibition in conjunction with the real one set up during the XXI edition of the International Exposition and called “21st Century. Design After Design” organised by Triennale of Milan.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
