DCC Prototipi e Allestimenti

A specialized operator, wearing a blue apron with the words "STAFF DESIGN X DESIGNER," is focused on using a precision drill press inside a mechanical workshop. The man, protected by safety glasses and work gloves, fixes his gaze on the piece of wood he is drilling, while a small group of students closely observes the technical demonstration. The setting is spacious and well-lit by rows of LED lights on the industrial ceiling, with shelving and woodworking materials visible in the background, giving the space a laboratory and educational feel.

The DCC Prototipi e Allestimenti was established by integrating the expertise and services of the Prototypes Lab and the Exhibit Lab. It is dedicated to the design, development, and testing of projects in the fields of product design, interior design, and exhibition design, supporting education, research, and technology transfer.

The laboratory provides an environment where students, researchers, and external partners can develop models, prototypes, installations, and spatial design projects, working on applications that range from residential, commercial, exhibition, and workplace environments to mobility systems and artistic contexts. By combining craftsmanship with advanced prototyping technologies, the DCC Prototipi e Allestimenti provides the tools and expertise to support the entire development process, from experimentation to final production.
