Additive manufacturing and process engineering consultant. I make things work long after the demo is over: from the first sketch to production, from the shop floor to the manual.

Services
I started as a Technician, hands on the part. A lot has changed since; but not the hands.
01
Engineering & prototyping
I design, assemble and configure machines and prototypes until they work. When they fail, I find out why.
parametric CAD and technical drawing (Fusion, SolidWorks, Creo, FreeCAD…)
mechanical and electronic assembly
firmware and machine configuration (Klipper, Marlin, RepRapFirmware…)
failure and root-cause analysis
02
Additive manufacturing consulting
From lab to production: the right technology and material, design built for additive, processes that hold at volume.
Design for Additive Manufacturing
technology and material selection (FFF, SLS…)
high-performance polymers (PEEK, PEEK-CF, PEI…)
slicing and parameter optimisation (OrcaSlicer, Cura, PrusaSlicer…)
industrialisation and production ramp-up
03
Process engineering & standardisation
Applied research into repeatable, measurable, documented additive workflows. One good part is luck; a thousand is a process.
workflow mapping and redesign
procedures, quality control, traceability
material and parameter characterisation (crystallinity, layer bonding, flow…)
R&D on methods and standards
04
Infrastructure & automation
IT for manufacturing SMEs: self-hosted services, secure access, automation that spares people the repetitive work.
private cloud and collaboration (Nextcloud, Proxmox…)
mesh VPN, SSO and password management (WireGuard, NetBird, Bitwarden…)
workflow automation (n8n, NocoDB…)
Linux workstations and servers
05
Technical documentation
Manuals, reports and failure analyses, written for whoever has to use them. In Italian and English.
operator and maintenance manuals
technical and root-cause reports
docs-as-code (Typst, Markdown, LaTeX…)
bilingual IT / EN
06
Training
Years of technical teaching, in classrooms and on shop floors. I teach people to use machines; above all, to understand them.
on-machine operator training
workshops for technical teams
courses on CAD, AM and materials
coaching and mentoring

Projects
Most of my work lives under NDA, which renders this section rather shorter than it deserves.
2020 — 2024 biomedical | industrial oil & gas role: lab lead
University 3D printing lab
Full operational management of a biomedical and industrial 3D printing lab: production, product development, maintenance and client relations. More than 50 products designed from scratch, plus contributions to scientific studies and publications on polymers.
