About

Nicola Piccirelli is an innovative researcher at the forefront of advanced additive manufacturing, with a particular focus on non-planar and multinozzle extrusion techniques for fabricating high-performance composite structures. Their work bridges materials science and manufacturing engineering, pushing the boundaries of what is achievable through 3D printing technologies. Piccirelli's most celebrated contributions center on developing sophisticated fabrication strategies for complex scaffold networks and multifunctional structural components. A landmark 2023 study on non-planar multinozzle additive manufacturing of thermoset composite microscaffold networks, garnering 21 citations, demonstrated groundbreaking precision in multi-material deposition. Complementing this, their 2024 research on non-planar extrusion of carbon-reinforced PEEK sandwich structures — already cited 17 times — highlights expertise in engineering-grade thermoplastics for structurally demanding applications. Earlier foundational work from 2021, cited 16 times, established critical insights into high-speed multinozzle fabrication and extrusion modeling at scale. Collectively, Piccirelli's research addresses real-world manufacturing challenges by enabling faster, more geometrically complex, and mechanically superior printed components, making their work highly relevant to aerospace, biomedical, and structural engineering communities worldwide.
