About

Tommaso Mancia is a leading researcher in advanced composite manufacturing, with a primary focus on robotic automated fiber placement (R-AFP) technologies. His most-cited work, "Robotic Automated Fiber Placement of Carbon Fiber Towpregs" (2021, 20 citations), introduces a groundbreaking methodology for manufacturing high-performance composite laminates using carbon fiber thermoset towpregs. Mancia’s key contribution lies in developing a robotic system that precisely places 12K high-strength carbon fibers impregnated with epoxy resin, while integrating thermographic scanning to detect and prevent placement-induced defects in real time. This innovation significantly enhances the reliability and quality of automated composite production, addressing critical challenges in aerospace and automotive industries. His work has been recognized for bridging the gap between automation and defect-free manufacturing, earning citations from researchers in materials science and robotics. Mancia’s research continues to push the boundaries of scalable, high-precision composite fabrication, making him a notable figure in the field of advanced manufacturing technologies.
