About moi
moi is a Politecnico di Milano's spin-off startup founded on February 2nd 2018.
moi was launched to solve a problem:
Thermosetting composites are one of the best performing class of materials available, unfortunately, traditional manufacturing is still, in these days, expensive and requires a lot of time, especially for small series or unique objects.
moi is the natural result of a research called -Atropos- born inside +LAB, the 3D printing lab of the Politecnico di Milano university focused on exploring the possibility of using thermosetting short, and continuous, fiber composite materials in additive manufacturing.
moi aims to redefine the manufacturing of composites materials exploiting all the potentialities of robotics, artificial intelligence and additive manufacturing.
