About
Margherita Monti’s research lies at the intersection of advanced manufacturing, surface engineering, and adhesive bonding, with a focus on enhancing the performance of additively manufactured components. Her work investigates how low-pressure plasma surface modification can improve the mechanical integrity of bonded joints in fused filament fabrication (FFF) parts, offering a cleaner, more reliable alternative to traditional abrasion methods. This contribution is particularly significant for assembling complex structures like robotic grippers, where joint strength is critical. With over 3 citations on her most-cited paper, Monti’s research addresses a key challenge in additive manufacturing: achieving robust, repeatable bonds without compromising material properties. Her studies provide practical insights for industries ranging from robotics to aerospace, where lightweight, custom-designed parts are essential. By systematically comparing surface treatments, she has advanced the understanding of how to optimize adhesion in polymer-based 3D-printed assemblies. Monti’s work is a valuable resource for researchers and engineers seeking to integrate additive manufacturing into functional, load-bearing applications, demonstrating that surface preparation is as vital as the printing process itself.
