Lighting is no longer just turning on a lamp. Solid State Lighting allows reaching high energy savings and visual perception, but the path to success was not easy: in the early years when LED were available on the market, several concerns slowed down their widespread implementation. The large spread of Lighting Systems based on LED arrived only when products quality increased thanks also to the development of new metrology paradigms able to certify LED performances peculiarities. Currently LED promises to widespread in every lighting application increasing not only energy savings, but night-time safety, health and wellbeing thanks to lighting systems based on connectivity and smart controls, but new design paradigms and metric headed to new objectives are necessary, therefore there will be no need to measure only energetic and light performances. We are moving toward an approach more sensitive to Human Needs: energy savings and light efficiency are of no more the only interest to focus on, we need to measure performance of a lighting system in terms of not only SI quantities. We need now a consolidated metrology and design approach to Smart System for complexity and suitable to compare lighting quality in term of human perception and wellbeing.

3D printing awareness: the future of making things

Fabrizio Valpreda

Proceedings Volume 9398, 93980X (2015) https://doi.org/10.1117/12.2083302

KEYWORDS: 3D printing, Printing, Fused deposition modeling, 3D modeling, Manufacturing, Intellectual property, Roads, Solids, Rapid manufacturing, Data modeling

The advent of 3D printing is giving us new production opportunities but is creating new economic and social assets. In the paper we will analyze the new conditions we will live in. The current industrial production scenario will be analyzed to see how it works and how 3D printing is being introduced into it: where the traditional production comes from and how it actually works, from the historical, technological, social and economic point of view, including transports of materials and products. This asset is being “polluted” and possibly transformed by 3D printing: what is it, how it works, but most important, how this technology is transforming our personal approach to industrial products. This technological innovation will transform our lives, possibly even more than how movable type printing did: we will see the opportunities offered to adopt this innovation not only for our everyday life, but also looking forward for environmental issues, (e)commerce reorganization and social quality improvement. In the final part we will also see what will be the keys to open a new kind of developing path, where technology will take an important part, what relationship with it humans will have, and which will be the keys to succeed in this challenge, identifying in knowledge, awareness and culture of innovation those keys.
