Corrado Luca Bottazzi

Founder, CEO and Team Manager of RaphaEl Lab

Born at Bergamo on February 21, 1966; he studied Agricultural Economy at Catholic University in Piacenza. He started his industrial career in 1993, at the company Mediberg srl (BG – Italy), beginning to design industrial machinery in the field of the Surgical and Dental Face masks. After that experience he decided to devote himself to the design of complex mechanical devices in various industrial sectors, as designer of winding-folding machines, slitter-rewinders for paper and plastic films, ND-Yag laser welding machines for the automotive sector. Since 2000 he has dedicated himself entirely to laser measurement, design and production of measurement systems and laser scanners for the Aero-Space, Racing-F1 and Packaging sectors.
