About

Sandro Sanin is a leading researcher at the intersection of digital fabrication and construction automation, with a primary focus on robotic 3D Concrete Printing (3DCP). His work fundamentally addresses the gap between experimental additive manufacturing and real-world construction site complexity. Sanin’s major contributions include pioneering methods for toolpath simulation, design, and manipulation that blur the traditional boundaries between design, manufacturing, and material effects. He has also advanced the field by developing environment-aware 3DCP systems that integrate robot-vision, enabling printing processes to adapt dynamically to the unpredictable conditions of actual building sites rather than relying on oversimplified designs. His most cited work, “Toolpath Simulation, Design and Manipulation in Robotic 3D Concrete Printing” (2021), has garnered 26 citations, while his subsequent “Environment-Aware 3D Concrete Printing through Robot-Vision” (2022) has earned 13 citations, reflecting growing impact. Through these contributions, Sanin is helping to transform 3DCP from a laboratory novelty into a viable, adaptive technology for the construction industry.
