STC 4.0 HP – New Generation of Stoneware Tableware in Ceramic 4.0 by High Pressure Casting Robot work cell

Abstract:

The workshop workshop entitled “STC 4.0 HP – New Generation of Stoneware Tableware in Ceramic 4.0 by High Pressure Casting Robot work cell” has the purpose of disseminate the results of a research project that had as goal to introduce new methodologies and technologies in a traditional sector such as Ceramics. The referred project aimed to establish the production conditions that will allow GRESTEL to worldwide launch a range of innovative products in fine stoneware tableware as a result of the combination of different Ceramics 4.0 technologies of the industrial value chain.

The project consortium is composed by an industrial company GRESTEL – PRODUTOS CERÂMICOS S.A, by two entities of the scientific Portuguese system, the Polytechnic institute of Bragança (IPB) and the Polytechnic institute of Leiria, and also the Research Group from Limerick School of Art & Design of the Limerick Institute of Technology (Ireland).

The described workshop will have the participation of the referred project partners, that will, not only discuss the obtained results, but will also launch the foundations for future work.
