Stefano Serioli

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.
