Machine Design Group - Reggio Emilia

The Reggio Emilia Machine Design Group is a research group which started its activity in 2000 at the Department of Engineering Sciences and Methods (DISMI) of the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia.

It is composed of professors, researchers and engineers sharing competences in the fields of  mechanical, industrial and mechatronic engineering.

The group has access to well equipped laboratories which include advanced experimental and computational facilities.

The focus of the research is on the design, the analysis, the optimization and the development of intelligent machines with specific regard to structural mechanics, dynamical response and mechatronic integration. Key areas of investigation are the following:

- process of product design and development

- computer aided engineering

- advanced materials

- prototyping and testing

The activity of the group is funded by research grants earned from local and national governmental bodies and by research contracts signed with national and international companies.
