Engineering Playground: rbfLAB at the Forefront of Innovation
In 2016, Marco Evangelos Biancolini and Pier Paolo Valentini organised the โ๐๐ฏ๐จ๐ช๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐๐ญ๐ข๐บ๐จ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฏ๐ฅโ exhibition within The Art of The Brick in Rome. This initiative demonstrated how engineering can be as creative and stimulating as building with LEGOยฎ bricks. With the support of industrial partners such as HSL srl, Pipistrel Aircraft, and ๐๐๐ซ๐ญ๐๐๐, six innovative projects were presented, showcasing the potential of simulation, 3D printing, and optimization. Among these, Pipistrel exhibited two particularly remarkable 3D-printed prototypes: the optimized wing of the Taurus glider and the propeller of the Alpha Electro. These examples clearly demonstrated the significant improvements achieved before and after optimization.
