About

Tomaso Trombetti is a leading figure in the field of structural engineering, with a specialized focus on the application of advanced digital fabrication techniques to civil infrastructure. His research primarily explores the structural behavior and geometrical characterization of additively manufactured steel elements, particularly those produced via Wire-and-Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM). Trombetti’s major contributions include pioneering experimental investigations into the performance of WAAM stainless steel rods and other structural components, providing critical data on their mechanical properties and failure modes. His 2019 paper on the geometrical characterization of WAAM steel elements has garnered 30 citations, establishing a foundational reference for researchers exploring the use of weld-based additive manufacturing in construction. This work, alongside his 2021 experimental study on WAAM stainless steel rods (9 citations), demonstrates his commitment to bridging the gap between cutting-edge manufacturing technologies and practical structural applications. By addressing the unique challenges of scaling additive manufacturing from aerospace and automotive sectors to real-scale civil engineering, Trombetti is helping to shape the future of sustainable, digitally fabricated steel structures.
