About
Sandro Citarelli is a pioneering researcher at the forefront of digital fabrication and steel construction, with a primary focus on advancing large-scale additive manufacturing technologies. His most influential work centers on the application of Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) for steel structures, a field where he has made transformative contributions. Citarelli’s landmark 2019 paper, "3D printing in steel construction with the automated Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing," has garnered 25 citations, establishing a foundational framework for using robotic welding systems to produce large, load-bearing metallic components—a significant departure from traditional powder-based 3D printing limited to smaller aerospace and mechanical parts. His research bridges the gap between automated manufacturing and structural engineering, demonstrating how WAAM can enable cost-effective, material-efficient production of complex steel geometries for buildings and infrastructure. By addressing the scalability challenges of additive manufacturing, Citarelli has opened new possibilities for sustainable construction practices. His work is highly regarded among civil engineers and digital fabrication specialists, positioning him as a key figure in the ongoing revolution of construction automation.
