Case studies and state-of-the-art of composites and additive manufacturing for high-demanding sectors: REPOXYBLE session at NanoInnovation
REPOXYBLE participated to the 10th edition of the NanoInnovation Conference and Exhibition, the international event dedicated to innovation, nanotechnologies and R&D.
This year edition was populated by more than 60 scientific sessions, divided into 10 technical workshops covering Digital Twins, Materials and Technologies, Characterisation and AI, Precision Agriculture, NanoSolutions in Nanomedicine, Sensors for Agriculture, Technologies for Energy Transition, Multifunctional Materials, Innovation in Health, and New Generation Batteries.
More than 500 speakers and chairs took part in plenary sessions, workshops, guest events, joint events and parallel sessions, contributing to a rich and stimulating scientific, multidisciplinary, and collaborative exchange between academia, industry and institutions.
With around 2,000 participants onsite and online, NanoInnovation 2025 confirmed the vitality and importance of working together to address the major challenges of sustainability, digital transformation and energy transition.
Advanced composites and manufacturing: the REPOXYBLE session
In this framework, REPOXYBLE organized, alongside its partner Airi (Italian Association for Industrial Research) and ENEA (Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development), the session High-performance multifunctional materials in aerospace, automotive and energy.
Thanks to industrial and scientific experts, including the REPOXYBLE partners DAC, Avanzare, ONYRIQ, and Gurit, we talked about advanced composites innovation and high-performing technologies for industrial sustainability, with focuses on recycling composites, Intellectual Property Management, and Additive Manufacturing.

REPOXYBLE lead the morning presenting its new recyclable epoxy composites designed as a multifunctional, efficient and lightweight alternative to metals. Our materials are particularly suitable for high-performance applications such as Urban Air Mobility (UAM) – developed in Italy by the Campania Aerospace District (DAC) – and present integrated features including electronic circuits and improved thermal resistance – the result of Avanzare expertise.
In addition to their high performance, REPOXYBLE materials stand out for their strong circularity footprint: thanks to a recyclable epoxy system – developed by ONYRIQ –, all composite’s components can be recovered and reused without compromising quality, with Gurit confirming their potential for industrial scale-up.
To round off the discussion, Bugnion S.p.A. addressed the issue of Intellectual Property Management, highlighting the need to establish agreements between partners that are consistent with European guidelines, emphasizing the importance of adequate protection strategies to ensure the industrial exploitation of innovations.
The afternoon was dedicated to Additive Manufacturing (AM) and 3D printing, more and more relevant to the transition towards sustainable and advanced manufacturing. Roboze Italia illustrated solutions for improving production efficiency and flexibility thanks to a highly controlled process; ENEA presented new techniques for AM powders production, aimed at improving materials quality and performance; the use of lasers as a tool for printing complex geometries on a large scale, e.g. in architecture, was illustrated by the Politecnico di Milano; RINA Consulting emphasised the possible applications of materials in the defence sector.
This session demonstrated how the integration of innovative materials, advanced production technologies and knowledge protection represents a strategic issue for the competitiveness of European industry, in line with the challenges of sustainability, digitalisation and security.
