NCS supports STRETTO IN CARENA, the team of the University of Messina at the MOTOSTUDENT 2020
After the collaboration which brought SCIGHERA, the motorcycle designed by the PoliMi Motorcycle Factory, to win the MOTOSTUDENT championship, NCS | Newcast Services is ready to collaborate with another team of students. This team is from the University of Messina and it is called STRETTO IN CARENA, a young and determined team which will participate to the championship in the Petrol category with a petrol engine.
For the first time students will participate to the 6th edition of the MOTOSTUDENT international championship that will take place in Aragon in 2020.
MOTOSTUDENT is a four-day competition which calls to Aragon, Spain, students from universities from all over the world for a real race in which they have the chance to demonstrate their competences starting from the design of a project up to the creation of a prototype.
Marcello Fantuzzi, Techinical Director & President of NCS met the team at the Feltrinelli of Messina and has formalised the collaboration:
“I have the capability to lead you to Aragon. I am here to invest in your future because your future will be my profit and if you believe in what you are doing it will be so.”
The committment of NCS is to help students during the process of design and provide all the materials and means of production they need.
Fantuzzi also encouraged and provided valuable advice on the topic:
“The challenge is to sacrifice yourself and strive for an objective. Your team is very good one but the motorcycle is only one and it must be the best.”
and more
“You don’t have the requirements to go to Aragon, but you accepted the challenge anyway. This is what I saw in you. We will not go there to win but we will go there to join and win for ourselves.”
NCS is ready to collaborate and support the ideas of STRETTO IN CARENA, a team formed by 70 students at their very first experience but with a huge will of put themselves to the test with the big ones.

NCS Lab challenges cold ice and winds of Alaska
Alaska 2019 Ski Walking Winter Expedition is the next expedition of the project Alaska Adventures which will cross Alaska and Canada during the frightful polar winter. Following the roads of Klondike gold rush, the expedition will be partly on skis which will tow a sled on the snow and partly on foot with the sled towed on wheels.
Why a sled?
The choice fell upon a sled both to transport materials and basic supplies but also to emulate the limited possibilities available to pioneers at the end of the nineteenth century and their lonely crossing in 1997.
NCS is sponsor of this project as provider of the hull and also of the two sleds laminated in carbon fiber designed by students of the Department of Material Science and Industrial Engineering of the University of Trento.
Tomorrow, December 6th 2018 Marcello Fantuzzi – Technical Director & President and Andrea Vecchi – Laboratory Manager will take part at the official presentation of the project:
The challenge will be 1300 km long for approximately 50 days facing cold, thin ice, temperature variations and....grizzly bears!

“Transosseous Academy”, the first international convention and the second annual event, has just finished in Boston. NCS was main sponsor.
“Transosseous Academy”, the first international convention and the second annual event, has just finished in Boston. NCS was main sponsor. “Transosseous Academy” is an independent and non-profit association born in order to promote and support scientific research, innovation and foster knowledge sharing on the transosseous surgical technique.
The mission of the association is to put together clinicians, engineers and scientists to create an interactive environment in which propose and carry out research leading to more and more positive results for patients.
Transosseous Academy combines the engineering sphere with the clinical and medical sphere in a brand-new field oriented towards science and the sharing of results. TA’s primary objective is to collect clinical data in order to highlight and support the surgical treatments studied.
NCS | Medical Devices supports the project “Transosseous Academy” realised in Milan during the first meeting in 2017 and in the first international event held in Boston last 10th of November. NCS has always been active in the processes of design and production of implantable biomedical devices intended and dedicated to arthroscopic techniques which became even more effective. For this reason, NCS sustains the mission of Transosseous Academy.
An international faculty held speeches, lectio magistralis and re-live. The various interventions covered all the aspects of transosseous from biomechanics to biology, from the several techniques available today to a new way of collecting in an objective way clinical data leading to clinical results. An exceptional faculty able to elevate scientific content and maintain an interactive and stimulating environment.

SCIGHERA wins MOTOSTUDENT 2018, the world championship
SCIGHERA, the motorcycle designed by Polimi Motorcycle Factory won MOTOSTUDENT, the worldwide championship held in Aragon where teams of university students from all over the world competed in several challenges.
NCS | Newcast Services followed the team step by step during the process of design from the project to the prototype of the motorcycle.
WHAT IS MOTOSTUDENT?
MOTOSTUDENT (5th edition in 2018) is an international competition for motorcycles designed by teams of university students from all over the world who build the motorcycle from scratch.
The race is becoming more relevant year after year both at a university level but also for the motorcycling sector too. More than 1500 students from more than 50 different universities in the world are involved.
The mission of every single team is to design, create and evaluate the motorcycle prototype that will be put to the test at the Aragon racing circuit.
Teams have to pretend to be the manufacturer and try to sell their product to costumers developing the industrial project of a motorcycle starting from a prototype.
COMPETITION STAGES
The competition is divided into two stages: MS1 and MS2.
• MS1: design, innovation and industrialization.
At this stage teams present their industrial project related to the hypothetical mass production of the prototype. Following rewards are assigned at this stage:
- best design award
- best technical innovation
• MS2: dynamic tests.
The second stage comprises several dynamic tests to evaluate some aspects like acceleration, braking and manoeuvrability.
This stage concludes with a speed race made of 8 laps.
POLIMI TEAM AND NCS
Polimi Motorcycle Factory is the team of the department of Mechanic Engineering of the Politecnico of Milan, born in 2015 from the ambition of 5 future engineers.
The experience of NCS in Moto2 Championships and also in other international championships together with the employment of innovative technologies and also the passion for the automotive sector, prompted the relation between NCS and Polimi. For these reasons NCS is main sponsor of the project and realized the official prototype.
NCS followed the team in this two-years journey, realising hulls, airbox, structural coatings, frame and swingarm made of steel and composite materials.
The technology used for the realization of the aerodynamic and structural part is called XtremeHS+.
NCS | Newcast Services’ experience, competences and also 3D printing technologies were available for the team of engineers of the PoliMi. SCIGHERA is the final result, a great value result.
SCIGHERA is the name of the motorcycle prototype designed by the PoliMi Motorcycle Factory. Scighera in Milanese dialect means “fog”, an omnipresent element during the period of work of the team!
RESULTS
This project, lasted two years, with tests and obstacles along the way, has payed off during the first weekend of October in Aragon, Spain.
PoliMi Motorcycle Factory finished 2nd at the MS1 stage and also achieved the top of the podium in dynamic tests, acceleration tests and highest speed.
The team also gained extra points thanks to the 2nd position in the mechanic test, the 2nd position in qualifications and 2nd fastest lap.
Winning the final race brought the Milanese team directly to the world champion title of Motostudent 2018.
Below the numbers of this success:
- 1st MS2 petrol – Dynamic tests
- 1st Place in Race
- Best Acceleration 6”966
