The Dropcity Architecture and Design Centre has chosen SCM to supply its professionals and students with a variety of technologies designed to meet the latest wood-furnishing machining requirements. The workshop will be presented on April 03 and will be open to the public during Milan Design Week, until April 13th, in anticipation of its permanent opening in the autumn.
Nowadays, Milan has one of the most extensive communities of designers, architects and students in the industry, as well as being a global point of reference for Made-in-Italy furniture and design.
The Dropcity project was created right here and more precisely in a place of significant historical, financial and cultural importance such as the former Magazzini Raccordati building, just a stone’s throw from the central station. The purpose of this community of professionals is to pump life and worth back into these place, abandoned for decades, encouraging a new model of public space capable of involving the city and its huge number of specialists and design experts in new, virtuous design projects.
All this in more than 1,000 square metres of space set aside for workshops, research into materials and craftsmanship including the largest, most advanced public joinery workshop in Milan, “Woodshop”: an open, practical space of more than 600 square metres with a selection of state-of-the-art technologies made available to designers, professionals and students looking to put their skills into practice and directly transform their furnishing ideas into reality.
“We are proud to take part in the Dropcity project providing present-day and future designers with some of the technological solutions most appreciated by our client companies in Italy and abroad”, says Gabriele Patti, SCM sales director. “Dropcity aims to combine design, innovation and creativity, values that have always bonded us to businesses that choose to trust in our products, services and skills, to bring their ideas to life. We aim to be a partner to those hoping to transform every challenge into an opportunity for growth and we are proud to also support the designers looking to see for themselves the results of their work, even the most ambitious ones”. Mr. Patti added further.
All the technologies installed are provided by SCM and are designed to meet the core production requirements for panel machining. They offer a complete process, aligned with the latest market trends. The setup includes numerically controlled machining centers for drilling, routing, and nesting, edgebanding solutions, sanding machines, and traditional joinery equipment. Each technology was carefully chosen to ensure high versatility and machining quality across a wide range of projects and materials, including new-generation materials.
These solutions stand out for their operator interface software, Maestro active, that allows for easy, rapid control and use of all the machine’s functions, encouraging a look&feel and interaction method common to all SCM machines. Also worth pointing out is the CAD-CAM Maestro Lab programming software combined with the numerically controlled machining centres on site: intuitive and dynamic, it helps to simply transform an idea into a finished product, thanks to intelligent, technologically advanced programming functions.
During the Salone del Mobile, which will be happened between April 07 to 11, interested visitors can enter the world of surface finishing technologies and woodworking with a dedicated visit to their Technology Center in Villasanta, in the heart of Brianza.
