Sintesi del contesto e degli obiettivi generali del progetto

The number of people around the world displaced from their homes by armed conflicts or weather disasters has increased in recent years. For this, HURITRABE- "HOP" - HOUSE PRINTING, has developed a construction system based on additive printing to improve the situation of the refugees. Refugee camps are temporary solutions to war or weather disasters. With our project it is proposed to substantially change the living conditions of the people in the camps. We will be able to build a house for a family of six people in just three days, thanks to the fact that a team of robots will work at the same time and in a coordinated way, like a swarm of bees.

Lavoro eseguito dall’inizio del progetto fino alla fine del periodo coperto dalla relazione e principali risultati finora ottenuti

In this period of time, we have advanced from prototype TRL 4 to TRL 6, we have contacted and we have reached commercial agreements, financial agreements and recruitment of suppliers to activate the necessary development plan for our project. All the weaknesses, strengths and opportunities of "HOP" have also been studied.Technical viability assessment:
We optimized HOP to TRL6. We worked together with technology validators and robotics experts in order to clarify the requirements from technical and usability standpoints. We designed a product allowing an easy market uptake by VAR companies. Also, we developed our first printing material who was design for our system.
Commercial viability assessment:
We update the business plan based on: user’s segmentation, pricing strategy and market trends. We studied the market to weigh up the benefits and cons of each of the routes to follow (patent, utility model or trade secret). On this basis, we had elaborated the best IP protection strategy to maximise its commercial exploitation.
Financial viability assessment:
We work with experts to account and assign the required resources for scaling up HOP till TRL9 by 2021. A financial analysis of the proyect and it's scalability led us know to update and build an economic forecast for the first 5 years of commercialisation.

Progressi oltre lo stato dell’arte e potenziale impatto previsto (incluso l’impatto socioeconomico e le implicazioni sociali più ampie del progetto fino ad ora)

The undertaken analysis indicates that the project has a very interesting business potential in a growing market; will result in promising revenue growth; it will be technically feasible; and the company is prepared to carry out it.
