About

Alessio Pricci is a rising researcher at the intersection of additive manufacturing and soft robotics, with a core focus on advancing Material Extrusion (MEX) for silicone-based structures. His work addresses a critical gap in the field: the lack of predictive models for the extrusion process. In his 2023 paper, Pricci developed semi-analytical and numerical models to forecast extrusion force as a function of process parameters, providing a foundational tool for more reliable and repeatable fabrication in biomedical and soft robotics applications. Building on this, his 2024 work introduced a novel electromagnetic assistance technique that enables the 3D printing of thin-walled, bioinspired soft robots—a significant leap in manufacturing complex silicone structures without traditional molding or casting. With 12 citations for his most recent paper and 6 for his modeling work, Pricci’s contributions are already shaping the future of soft robotics, space exploration, and biomedicine. His innovative approach to process modeling and electromagnetic-assisted printing marks him as a key figure in the transition from lab-scale prototyping to industrial-grade silicone additive manufacturing.
