About

Antonio Fiorentino is a leading researcher in advanced manufacturing, with a primary focus on incremental sheet forming (ISF) and additive manufacturing for biomedical applications. His work has significantly advanced the understanding of formability, process forces, and geometrical accuracy in ISF, a flexible metal-forming technology that reduces development times and costs compared to traditional methods. His highly cited 2011 paper, "On forces, formability and geometrical error in metal incremental sheet forming" (16 citations), remains a foundational reference in the field. Fiorentino has also pioneered the use of additive manufacturing to mimic the mechanical behavior of human bone, notably in his 2022 study on PLA materials for simulating mandibular bone during dental implant drilling (9 citations). His earlier contributions include optimizing sheet hemming processes for the automotive industry, demonstrating a consistent focus on improving part quality and process efficiency. With a career spanning over a decade, Fiorentino’s research bridges fundamental process mechanics and practical biomedical applications, making him a notable figure in both manufacturing engineering and medical device development.
