The present paper focuses on the development of the composite materials in the automotiv industry by making a comparative analysis between a 3D model of the part and a real part made by a composite material, measuring the part using the point cloud. The aim is to obtain a high modeling and a more clear visualization of the composite material part.

Neuroblastoma (NB) is an undifferentiated malignant tumor of the sympathetic ganglia, occurring in children under 5 years of age. However, it is a rare histology in adult patients, occurring once per every 10 million patients per year. We present the case of a 68-year-old male patient presented to our department for right lumbar pain, asthenia, loss of weight and altered general status. The contrast-enhanced abdominal computer tomography revealed bilateral adrenal tumoral masses of 149 mm and 82 mm on the right and left sides, respectively, with invasion of the surrounding organs. The patient underwent right 3D laparoscopic adrenalectomy and right radical nephrectomy. The pathological result concluded that the excised tumor was a neuroblastoma of the adrenal gland. The patient followed adjuvant oncological treatment; however, due to disease progression, he passed away 22 months after the surgery. To our knowledge, less than 100 cases of adrenal NB in adult patients have been published, the eldest case being diagnosed at 75 years of age; meanwhile, the largest reported tumor measured 200 mm, and was excised through open surgery. Minimally invasive techniques have been limited so far to smaller, organ-confined diseases, thus making the present case the largest adrenal NB removed entirely laparoscopically. Neuroblastoma in the adult population is a rare finding, with worse prognosis compared to pediatric patients. The available literature does not provide enough data for standardized, multimodal management, as the patients are treated following adapted pediatric protocols, thus reinforcing the need for international, multidisciplinary boards for rare tumors.

The research aims to test polymer materials as the plastic materials: UHMWPE and POM, to observe there characteristics, to determing how they can be used and what we can obtain from them. We wanted to see the strong and the weak values that characterize them, what kind of parts we can produce from them and in what case we can use it. By applying this tests is necessary in order to see real datas that can help you compare them, and lead you to conclusions. Using these methods of testing materials leads to the establishment of real properties of the material and to the establishment of new configurations necessary to be made to the manufactured parts.
