About

Filomeno Martina is a leading figure in the field of large-scale metal additive manufacturing, with a primary focus on Wire + Arc Additive Manufacture (WAAM). His research centers on bridging the gap between design theory and industrial application, particularly for producing near-net-shape parts with high structural integrity. Martina’s most cited work, “Design for Wire + Arc Additive Manufacture: design rules and build orientation selection” (2017, 148 citations), provides foundational guidelines that enable engineers to optimize part geometry and orientation for robotic and CNC-based WAAM systems. He further advanced the mechanical performance of additively manufactured materials, notably demonstrating how machine hammer peening can enhance the properties of Ti-6Al-4V (2019, 40 citations). By systematically comparing robotic and CNC platforms for large-structure fabrication (2015, 25 citations), Martina has helped define the technological landscape for scalable, automated production. His contributions are pivotal for industries like aerospace and automotive, where cost-effective, high-integrity metal parts are essential. Martina’s work continues to shape the future of additive manufacturing, making him a key resource for researchers and engineers seeking to implement WAAM in real-world applications.
