About

Devon Goodspeed is an emerging researcher specializing in hybrid metal manufacturing and advanced fabrication technologies, with a particular focus on wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) and large-scale component production. Goodspeed's work centers on the development of integrated, multi-system research platforms that combine robotic systems, multi-axis part transfer mechanisms, and five-axis CNC machining to enable the fabrication of complex, large-scale metal geometries — a significant step forward in reducing lead times for industrial manufacturing applications. Among Goodspeed's notable contributions is the design and implementation of a highly flexible hybrid manufacturing research cell that coordinates multiple robot stations with advanced motion systems, demonstrating practical pathways for scalable metal part production. Complementing this, Goodspeed has advanced robot path planning methodologies tailored specifically for metrology integration within hybrid manufacturing environments, leveraging 6-DOF robot manipulators alongside 2-DOF part positioners to enhance precision and quality assurance throughout the printing process. Though early in their career — with publications in 2024 accumulating a combined 7 citations — Goodspeed's research addresses critical challenges in modern manufacturing, positioning them as a promising contributor to the fields of additive manufacturing, robotics, and industrial automation.
