About
Jeremy Ficca is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of architecture, digital fabrication, and robotic manufacturing. His key research areas include robotic additive manufacturing, computational design, and advanced material systems for architectural applications. Ficca’s major contribution is the development of the Free-Oriented Additive Manufacturing (FOAM) technique, a novel robotic fused deposition modeling method that enables thermoplastic lattice and cellular structures to be deposited in any spatial orientation. This breakthrough overcomes traditional layer-by-layer constraints, allowing for the creation of complex, lightweight, and structurally optimized forms that respond directly to site-specific conditions. His work has garnered attention within the digital fabrication community, with his most cited paper accumulating 5 citations to date. Ficca’s research is notable for bridging the gap between industrial robotics and architectural design, demonstrating how situated, non-planar printing can transform building components and custom fabrication workflows. His achievements include advancing the discourse on robotic construction and inspiring new possibilities for sustainable, material-efficient building practices. For students and researchers, Ficca’s work offers a compelling vision of how computation and robotics can reshape the built environment.
