10.30 - 11.00 
Relation between Design and Technologies at the time of disruptive innovations, Paolo Lamberti, Tecnografica         

The increasingly strong drive of innovation in digital printing, applied to the production of industrial decorative surfaces, has completely changed the approach to the design of graphic models. In fact, printing speed becomes an essential element. Accordingly, the quality and beauty of the finished product must find the way to adapt to this new paradigm.
What are the industrial sectors that have driven this change, what will be the technologies left out and what, instead, the directions of the new production models in the digital manufacturing of the future?

12.00 - 12.30
Excimer technology: high resistance properties with ultra matt finishing, Claudio Baldizzone, Superfici  

Excimer technology is undoubtedly one of the most useful solutions to the new trends toward ultra matt finishes. Superfici Excimatt system applies this solution to the finish on the widest range of finished products and materials. It offers incredibly smooth effects with extremely low gloss levels, meeting the latest design trends and opening up to endless possibilities of sophisticated, exquisite style. 
Another significant advantage is the chance of achieving high resistance surfaces: thanks to the UV treatment emitted on specific wave lengths, extra opaque effects are achieved without the inclusion of additives which could compromise the mechanical resistance of the finished surface. Excimer technology can offer the market a wide range of opportunities.
