About
Massimiliano Avalle is a researcher at the forefront of advanced manufacturing and robotics, with a primary focus on additive manufacturing (3D printing) and its integration with robotic systems. His work centers on the design and production of specialized robotic grippers, particularly for handling soft, flexible materials like textiles—a notoriously difficult task in automation. In his 2019 paper “Development of a gripper for garment handling designed for additive manufacturing” (12 citations), Avalle demonstrated how polymeric additive manufacturing enables the miniaturization and redesign of gripper components, integrating complex geometries that improve performance in grasping deformable layers. He further advanced this line of research in “The use of low pressure plasma surface modification for bonded joints to assembly a robotic gripper designed to be additive manufactured” (3 citations), where he explored surface treatments to enhance the mechanical strength of 3D-printed ABS components. By combining materials science, surface engineering, and robotic design, Avalle’s contributions are paving the way for more efficient, customizable automation solutions in industries like textiles and soft goods manufacturing.
