Additive Manufacturing Supports The Extreme Needs of The Aerospace Sector
Mr. Alessio Lorusso
Founder and CEO at Roboze SpA (Italy), Roboze Inc. (USA).
Additive Manufacturing Supports The Extreme Needs of The Aerospace Sector
Alessio Lorusso was born in Bari in 1990. CEO & Founder at Roboze, included in the Forbes 30 under 30 list 2018 as one of the most talented 30 European managers in the “Industry” category, entrepreneur and visionary in the additive manufacturing field who won the “Entrepreneur of the Year” award by Ernst & Young. When he was only 17, he built his first “beltless” 3D printer dedicated to SMEs and in 2015 he founded Roboze, doubling its turnover year after year.His goal is to bring, through advanced additive manufacturing solutions, the value of producing at the point of use in favor of not only economic advantages, by reducing warehouse and shipping costs, but also of environmental and social advantages, through a new model of distributed manufacturing throughout the world. This can overturn the classic approach of decentralized manufacturing, reducing CO2 emissions and increasing engineering skills in the area, which consequently stimulate the birth of new professionals. With headquarters in Italy and Texas, the company aims at making the offices of Bari and Houston among the most important 3D Printing Hubs in the world.

Dr. Rosario Pecora
Professor of Aircraft Structures, University of Naples “Federico II”, Industrial Engineering Department, Aerospace Division
Morphing wing flaps for next-generation green regional aircraft: the CleanSky experience
Master degree in Aeronautical Engineering and Ph.D. in Transport Engineering awarded by the University of Naples “Federico II” on 2002 and 2005. Assistant Professor of Aircraft Structures Stability and Lecturer of Advanced Aircraft Structures at the same University since 2011. He has worked for many aircraft manufacturing companies (including but to limited to ATR, Alenia, Aermacchi, Bombardier, Piaggio Aeroindustries) and research centers as technical advisor for loads, aeroelasticity, aircraft structures design and certification (EASA CS-23,-25 standards). His research activity is mainly focused on aero-servo-elasticity of unconventional structural systems, structures dynamics and smart structures while covering leading roles in major European and extra-European projects (CAPECON, Clean Sky GRA, SARISTU, CRIAQ-MDO505, Cleans Sky 2). He is author of several scientific papers, editor of a book on morphing wing technologies for large civil airplanes and designed inventor of European and US patents on SMA-based architectures for morphing wing trailing edge.
