About
Maurizio Motta is a leading figure in advanced manufacturing, whose research centers on real-time monitoring and control of laser metal deposition (LMD) processes. His major contributions lie in developing coaxial laser triangulation methods to precisely track deposition height during additive manufacturing. This work is critical because height mismatches can cause geometric defects or even catastrophic collisions between the nozzle and the workpiece. Motta’s 2018 paper, “Monitoring of laser metal deposition height by means of coaxial laser triangulation,” has garnered 115 citations, underscoring its foundational impact on process control. A related study, “Coaxial laser triangulation for height monitoring in laser metal deposition” (29 citations), further refines this technique, demonstrating how optical triangulation can be integrated coaxially with the laser beam for non-contact, in-process measurement. By enabling closed-loop height regulation, Motta’s innovations improve the reliability and precision of LMD, paving the way for more robust industrial applications. His work is essential reading for researchers and engineers seeking to enhance quality assurance in directed energy deposition.
