About
Marco Simonelli is a leading researcher in advanced metal additive manufacturing, with a focus on molten metal jetting (MMJ) and laser-directed energy deposition (DED). His work addresses critical challenges in producing fully functional components and repairing high-value parts. Simonelli’s most-cited paper introduces tailored droplet deposition strategies for MMJ, a technique with transformative potential across electronics, healthcare, aerospace, and robotics. By enabling precise, layer-by-layer construction of 3D structures, this work lays the foundation for direct printing of complex metal parts without post-processing. In a second influential study, he pioneers Laser Mesh Deposition (LMD), a novel DED method that uses woven mesh feedstock and laser beam oscillations to enhance process control and repair capabilities. This approach demonstrates stable bonding and process reliability across varied feed rates and energy levels, opening new avenues for cost-effective repair technologies. With a growing citation impact—his top paper already garnering 4 citations—Simonelli is establishing himself as a key innovator in sustainable, high-precision metal fabrication. His research is essential reading for engineers and scientists seeking to push the boundaries of additive manufacturing from prototyping to industrial production.
