Strengths

The Emilian Heart has been specifically created to take part in this competition.
We used the same 3D slicing technique found in modern additive manufacturing to recreate the iconic Emilian Tortellino as a layered sculpture.
Emilian Heart represents the soul of Emilia-Romagna, where traditional food and mechanical craftsmanship live side by side. A small tribute to our land, shaped by both innovation and tradition.
Each layer is cut individually and then stacked, forming the final solid object.
Once assembled, the object weighs approximately 9 kg.
The first assembled prototype provided valuable feedback for the refinement phase.
