About
Valerio Orsetti is a researcher at the forefront of smart materials and structural health monitoring, specializing in the integration of fiber optic sensors with additive manufacturing. His work centers on embedding Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBGs) into 3D-printed structures, creating intelligent, self-sensing materials for applications in civil engineering, biomedical devices, and soft robotics. Orsetti’s major contribution lies in solving the critical challenge of sensor positioning and adhesion by developing 3D-printed patches that seamlessly incorporate optical fibers, eliminating the need for manual gluing and improving measurement reliability. His most cited work (18 citations) provides a metrological evaluation of different filament materials and fiber coatings, establishing a foundational framework for designing robust, embedded sensing systems. This research paves the way for truly smart, customizable components that can monitor their own strain and temperature in real time. By bridging the gap between 3D printing and fiber optic sensing, Orsetti is enabling a new generation of adaptive, self-diagnosing materials with significant potential for advanced robotics and infrastructure monitoring.
