SKID – Skin care detector
Faire: Rome
Maker: Cassandra Serantoni
Skin is the organ responsible for protecting us from external agents (i.e. radiation or pollutants) whose state of health can be maintained using specific cosmetics.
Characterizing the skin biotype is complex and expensive, and therefore the type and effectiveness of cosmetics are individually evaluated empirically.
We have therefore created SKID, a tool which, by analyzing the light emitted by the skin, is able to detect quantitatively, quickly, and at low cost its functional characteristics, identifying the skin biotype and following its modifications over time.
Centro per l’Artigianato Digitale
Faire: Rome
Maker: Medaarch s.r.l. s.t.p.
Back to Maker Faire Rome, the extraordinary space dedicated entirely to artisans, manufacturing processes, and the digital revolution! Following the success of 2018 and 2019, Medaarch - in collaboration with WASP and Lab Mec - by popular demand, reintroduces the Center for Digital Craftsmanship for the 2023 edition of Maker Faire Rome. A 145 m² space designed as a public lounge where live demonstrations showcase how the connection between Italian craftsmanship, experimentation, and digital technology is contributing to the revival of Made in Italy, the enhancement of talents, the regeneration of territories, and the creation of an innovation ecosystem.
This space is dedicated to the new Renaissance, where one can admire high-impact and commercially successful design solutions achieved through a skillful combination of traditional processes and the use of new digital technologies.
The project's protagonists are the new artisan workshops: innovative and competitive enterprises operating in the excellence sectors of Made in Italy, such as fashion, ceramics, wood, and glass. These enterprises will guide us on a special journey into the new era of expertise, where creativity and technological innovation merge to generate large-scale innovations.
So, mark your calendars from October 20th to 22nd at Fiera Roma in the Life Pavilion. Over the three days, eight enterprises will demonstrate their processes and the ways they have chosen to use new digital tools, showing how technological solutions can already find fertile ground in Italian production chains, creating strong opportunities for manufacturing and Made in Italy talent.
There will be a chance to experience the most interesting virtual reality applications for craftsmanship, presented by Sautech, Medaarch, and Enco with the Artista project. You'll encounter the history and art of master Giuseppe Cicalese, who will create ceramic and sculptural works through live demonstrations involving 3D printing and virtual reality. You'll meet the talent of designer Marianna Capuano, who will showcase Tiffany glass works created with digital fabrication support.
You can admire wooden design pieces by master Luca Colacicco, created through digital manufacturing and designed by Medaarch. You'll witness the creation of fashion products by designer Giulia Scalera, expertly combining 3D printing processes and art couture.
Furthermore, you can discover how 3D printing can be applied to sustainable design, admiring 3D-printed ceramic objects and green furnishings from the Mediterranea collection by Medaarch.
Last but not least, Medaarch has dedicated space to professional training opportunities for students, startups, companies, and makers looking to grow through digital innovation and hands-on training based on experimentation, research, and digital innovation.
In summary, it's an immersive experience to explore the beauty and charm of Made in Italy 5.0 talent, complemented by the integration of digital technologies through which the involved companies have found a unique and innovative way to engage.
The space at Maker Faire Rome, created by Medaarch in collaboration with WASP and Lab Mac - who have provided their cutting-edge technologies for the three days (particularly, WASP brings the 40100 Clay Production and the 3MT HDP) - reproduces the structure of the Center for Digital Craftsmanship in Cava de' Tirreni, the first in Italy entirely dedicated to revitalizing Made in Italy through the digital transformation of businesses and artisans.

Caratterizzazione dei prodotti alimentari mediante nuovi marker molecolari
Faire: Rome
Maker: Sapienza Università di Roma
As part of specific departmental and multidisciplinary initiatives (Department of Management) for consumer protection and developed within the Commodity Laboratory, we have identified a cluster of specific and innovative indicators [molecular markers] which allow to better characterize the perceived quality of some commercial food products.In particular, we applied our model to pasta [primary sector of interest], craft beers, grappa and coffee. The main aim of our studies is to discriminate commercial products which, thanks to their specificity - deriving in particular from "mild" industrial treatments - can benefit from "premium price" logics.

+Re Water
Faire: Rome
Maker: Innovazione e tecnologia a supporto di uno stile di vita migliore e dignitoso per tutti
L'idea si basa sui punti 6 e 7 dellâagenda 2030, ossia Garantire a tutti la disponibilità e la gestione sostenibile dellâacqua e delle strutture igienico-sanitarie e assicurare a tutti lâaccesso a sistemi di energia economici, affidabili, sostenibili e moderni. +Re Water suddivide il suo funzionamento tra le due fasi principali della giornata, durante la notte recupera acqua, deumidificando lâaria circostante; durante il dì produce energia elettrica e potabilizza lâacqua tramite una serie di filtri in carbonio attivo e lampade di tipo UV. Ma gli sprechi non sono ben visti da noi di +Re Water, ed î per questo che abbiamo scelto di aggiungere una cisterna di raccolta dellâacqua piovana, che verrà in seguito potabilizzata assieme allâacqua deumidificata. Perché scegliere il nostro progetto? Il nostro progetto offre soluzioni innovative, volte a diminuire i problemi di approvvigionamento idrico nel mondo usando solo energia fotovoltaica. +Re Water î basato su una visione a lungo termine e su una strategia di sviluppo continuo con lo scopo di adattarsi alle esigenze di ogni zona e aiutare più persone possibile.

Soluzioni strutturali innovative nell’ingegneria civile
Faire: Rome
Maker: Università degli Studi del Sannio - Benevento
Seismic isolation is a recent, innovative method for protecting buildings from major earthquakes by installing isolators and energy absorbing devices under the superstructure. Seismic isolation provides not only structural safety, but also safety and security for people and properties in the building. The prototype to be presented shows three types of base constraints in a civil engineering building model. The Three scale models, representing similar frame structures are placed on a shaking table to simulate the different effects of earthquakes depending on the realized internal/external constraints. It is shown that the isolated structure is the less affected by the ground shaking. Recipients are young people and general public, due to the simple and evident structure of the prototype.
lit
Faire: Rome
Maker: Helios Domotics S.r.l.
lit has developed a user-friendly product that
allows you to monitor domestic and
commercial electricity. Using a plug and play
device, which works through AI and Machine
Learning, lit allows you to reduce energy
waste and CO2 emissions.
The solution is made up of two parts: the
litbox (the hardware component), which is
installed on the phase or life-saving cable, and
the litapp (the software component), which
translates the user's consumption in terms of
energy used, money spent and CO2 emitted,
for each device.
