About

Lara Rebaioli is a researcher at the forefront of advanced manufacturing, specializing in the automation of additive and assembly processes. Her primary research areas include robotic additive manufacturing (AM) for large-scale plastic objects and the automation of flexible electronics assembly. Rebaioli’s major contributions center on overcoming critical bottlenecks in industrial production. She pioneered the integration of industrial screw-based extruders with anthropomorphic robots to dramatically accelerate the printing speed of thermoplastic polymers, addressing a key limitation of conventional AM for mass production. Her work on "Process parameters tuning and online re-slicing for robotized additive manufacturing of big plastic objects" (2018, 30 citations) provides a foundational methodology for real-time process adjustment, enabling the fabrication of large, complex parts with enhanced efficiency. Additionally, her numerical and experimental study on protective film removal (2022) tackles the manual assembly bottleneck in flexible electronics, proposing automated solutions for coverlay assembly. With a growing citation impact and a focus on bridging the gap between prototyping and high-volume manufacturing, Rebaioli’s research is shaping the future of intelligent, robotized production systems.
