The collaboration between Politecnico di Torino and the Municipality of Ivrea is a virtuous model of co-design between local institutions and the academic world, aimed at promoting sustainable development and widespread innovation. In this context, Ivrea acts as a real-life testing ground, while the Polytechnic University of Turin takes on the role of scientific and technological driving force, providing expertise, research, and design capabilities.
This synergy is being consolidated through multiple channels:
- Applied research and technology transfer to accompany the digital and environmental transition of the territory
- Educational and training activities capable of involving students and teachers in real and participatory projects
- Cultural, sporting, and social initiatives that strengthen the link between the university and the community, with a view to inclusive innovation
This collaboration demonstrates how dialogue between universities and local areas can generate concrete value, promoting shared, intelligent, and sustainable growth.

About us
The 3D LAB Research Group focuses on human-computer interaction applications and on visualisation, acquisition and management of 3D data.
Human body interaction, development of innovative product design methodologies, novel solutions for diagnostics and surgery planning and systems, emotional design, 3D sensors, augmented and virtual reality, 3D modelling and face analysis using machine learning techniques all belongs to our area of expertise.
We leverage on this knowledge to develop medical, security and safety, marketing software applications.
Research
3D Face Analysis
Facial morphology study is currently a leading topic for several application fields linked to human-machine interaction.
3D Technologies and Tools for Surgery
Research and Development of innovative surgical guides and fixture solutions for Healthcare Industry.
Augmented Reality in Urology
The use of AR in surgery to improves the surgeon’s spatial perception of the surgical field.
E-Learning
Ensuring students are engaged, motivated and challenged throughout their school career is a key priority for teachers.
PLM
Innovation and new product development are essential for most companies to sustain future revenue growth.
Education
The 3D LAB group covers the demands on education in the following disciplinary and interdisciplinary areas:

Machine Functional Modelling
The subject has the main objective to provide the fundamental skills on tools for product development, that is all the technologies that designers use to design, innovate and industrialize.

Engineering Drawing
The basic language of all engineering activities is represented, in the majority of cases, by design processes that involve the engineer in two distinct activities: modeling and communication.

Biometrics-based solutions in 3D Graphics
The course provides knowledge of 3D tools and methods for data acquisition, modeling, visualization and management of human anatomy to develop tailored solutions in different application domains.
Team
Our team is composed by motivated people able to cover different areas of expertise.
