About

Marco Sasso is a leading researcher in advanced manufacturing processes, with a particular focus on incremental sheet forming and its industrial automation. His work bridges the gap between flexible forming technologies and quality assurance, most notably through the development of an integrated robotized cell for incremental forming that combines production with real-time quality control. This pioneering approach, detailed in his highly cited 2008 paper (13 citations), addresses a critical challenge in manufacturing: maintaining precision while leveraging the flexibility of robotic systems. Sasso’s contributions have advanced the practical application of incremental forming, making it more viable for low-volume, high-variety production in sectors such as aerospace and automotive. His research demonstrates how robotic automation can enhance both efficiency and reliability in forming complex geometries, reducing the need for dedicated tooling. By integrating monitoring systems directly into the forming cell, Sasso has helped set new standards for process control in flexible manufacturing. His work continues to influence engineers and researchers seeking to optimize production workflows through intelligent automation and in-process inspection.
