RESHAPE
RESHAPE – a reconfigurable, high-tech soft surface for the gentle handling of hides – is a project funded by the Politecnico di Milano as part of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR), Mission 4 “Education and Research,” Component 2 “From Research to Business,” Investment Line 1.3, part of the Next Generation EU program.
The goal is to develop cutting-edge “morphing” technology for the creation of smart, actuated surfaces. This goal will be achieved through the integration of:
- Innovative Materials
- Flexible Sensors
- Distributed Implementation
Role and Objectives
The TME Group, in collaboration with other private companies, plays a key role in this project, focusing on crucial aspects of technological development:
- Definition and Design of Electronic Solutions
- Implementation of the Sensor Control System
- Firmware Development and Definition of Communication Protocols
- Development of a measurement system for characterizing and evaluating material homogeneity
- Prototype Development, Testing, and Validation
This innovative technology promises to revolutionize the delicate handling of leather, offering advanced solutions for the fashion industry and beyond. RESHAPE represents a significant step toward integrating smart technologies into production processes, improving efficiency and precision in the processing of delicate materials.
