About
Mahan Motamedi is a researcher at the intersection of digital fabrication and architectural history, known for pioneering supportless 3D printing techniques inspired by ancient vaulting methods. His most-cited work, "Supportless 3D Printing of Shells: Adaptation of Ancient Vaulting Techniques to Digital Fabrication" (2019, 7 citations), demonstrates a novel approach that eliminates the need for temporary supports in additive manufacturing by leveraging the structural logic of historical masonry shells. This contribution bridges traditional craftsmanship with modern computational design, offering a sustainable and material-efficient path for constructing complex curved geometries. Motamedi’s research has implications for reducing waste and expanding the possibilities of large-scale 3D printing in architecture and construction. While his citation count remains modest, his work has been recognized for its innovative fusion of heritage and technology, positioning him as a rising voice in the field. His achievements highlight how ancient building wisdom can inform cutting-edge digital fabrication, making his research particularly valuable for students and practitioners exploring low-impact, support-free construction methods.
