About
Giada Gasparini is a rising figure in structural engineering, specializing in the application of Wire-and-Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) to the construction sector. Her research lies at the critical intersection of digital fabrication, material science, and structural behavior, focusing on how large-scale 3D-printed metal components can be reliably used in civil infrastructure. Gasparini’s major contributions include the first systematic geometrical characterization of WAAM steel elements, a foundational study that has garnered 30 citations and established key quality-control metrics for the industry. She has further advanced the field through experimental investigations into the structural performance of WAAM stainless steel rods, providing essential data on their load-bearing capacity and failure modes. With her work bridging the gap between advanced manufacturing and practical structural design, Gasparini is helping to pave the way for the adoption of additive manufacturing in real-world construction projects. Her research is particularly notable for addressing the unique challenges of scaling up WAAM technology—originally developed for aerospace and automotive sectors—to meet the rigorous demands of civil engineering, making her a key contributor to the future of sustainable, digitally fabricated steel structures.
