The October 2026 issue of Il Progettista Industriale, published by Tecniche Nuove, features Foam Additive Manufacturing® in its Soluzioni section (pp. 97-101).
Written by Fabrizio Pozzato, the article retraces how FAM grew out of doctoral research at the University of Naples Federico II, under the guidance of Prof. Antonino Squillace and Prof. Daniele Tammaro, and how it is becoming an industrial platform.
It explains the core of the technology: a physical gas such as CO₂, dissolved in the polymer, generates a controlled cellular structure during extrusion. Density, porosity and local mechanical behaviour become design parameters, and a single material can be dense where loads are carried and foamed where weight can be saved.
The feature also presents our 1.8 m, 9 kg boat demonstrator, the markets where FAM fits best, from naval and aerospace to large-format additive manufacturing and advanced composites, and the two ways companies can adopt it: parts on commission, or systems, qualified materials and software to run the process in-house.
Thank you to Emanuela Bianchi and the editorial team for the space.
