RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT

In Tuma Studio we design and manufacture products designed to solve social and environmental problems. We only carry on projects that aim to improve people’s lives and preserve/care for the biosphere. 

Bettersea is a solar-powered floating station equipped with batteries and a computer that
cleans water from hazardous substances, collects biological samples and data on water quality and produces clean energy.

Bettersea is equipped with a skimmer filtrating system that hosts filters produced by certified third parties for cleaning water from hydrocarbons, chemicals, microplastics, and
radiations. It can host different accessories (such as a 360° camera, weather station, eDNA
filter, GPS and SATCOM) and sensors (such as multispectral fluorometric, pH, hydrophone
and gamma-ray spectrometer).

The filtrating system can be separated from the floating station and installed on any other
buoyant structure supplied with electrical energy.

Over the last 3 years, thanks to our expertise in digital manufacturing, we have developed the next generation of numerically controlled machines, equipped with great vesatility and the potential integration of Artificial Intelligence, to avoid any difficulty for a novice user.

The result we want to achieve is the integration of these technologies into traditional handicrafts and stop the extinction of some of the oldest and most prestigious crafts. It will also allow new talents to experiment with technologies that are not normally accessible.

The unique features of our numerical control machines are their size (suitable to all needs) and the different KITs that allow an introduction into the world of digital manufacturing. digital manufacturing.

Some of the possible configurations
1. Milling machine for cutting and engraving (metals, wood, stone and plastics)
2. Plasma torch for cutting (stainless steel, titanium, iron, aluminium, copper and other alloys)
3. Laser cutting and engraving (wood, metal and methacrylates)
4. Large-scale 3D printing
– FDM for extrusion of both recycled (shredded) and industrial pellets of plastics
– LDM for extrusion of cement, ceramics and other compounds
