"Hospital of Objects" is a service that provides for the recovery of forgotten, obsolete and accidentally broken objects, it fall within typical chain of personal manufacturing. Through the design input of the designer / maker, the obsolete object reacquires an aesthetic and functional dignity, according to the contemporary hybrid design and hacking design logic. The aim is to give new life to small everyday objects , recomposing, aggregating or replacing some parts with new parts 3d printed, using filament obtained from the recycling plastic of WEEE waste. The service through the exchange of expertise (including Laboratory for the recycling of WEEE and Rapid Manufacturing Laboratory), cooperation (between user and designer / maker), attention to environmental impact, leading to the creation of a particular product: hybrid of languages and technologies, that allows experiments in the field of recycling, technology and creativity, exploiting the 3D Printing aimed at small- scale production or unique pieces.

Abstract
"Hospital of Objects" is a service that provides for the recovery of forgotten, obsolete and accidentally broken objects, it fall within typical chain of personal manufacturing. Through the design input of the designer / maker, the obsolete object reacquires an aesthetic and functional dignity, according to the contemporary hybrid design and hacking design logic. The aim is to give new life to small everyday objects , recomposing, aggregating or replacing some parts with new parts 3d printed, using filament obtained from the recycling plastic of WEEE waste. The service through the exchange of expertise (including Laboratory for the recycling of WEEE and Rapid Manufacturing Laboratory), cooperation (between user and designer / maker), attention to environmental impact, leading to the creation of a particular product: hybrid of languages and technologies, that allows experiments in the field of recycling, technology and creativity, exploiting the 3D Printing aimed at small- scale production or unique pieces.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
