About

Hermann Seitz is a leading researcher in advanced manufacturing, specializing in the intersection of additive manufacturing and composite materials. His work focuses on developing novel processes for producing carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP), particularly through the innovative Enhanced Multipoint Moulding with Additive Attachments (EMMA) technique. Seitz’s major contributions include pioneering the use of robotic fused filament fabrication on silicone build plates, demonstrating the transferability of material extrusion from conventional to robotic systems for enhanced mold production. His research on the mouldability of additively manufactured attachments on multipoint tools has established foundational principles for combining vacuum-assisted multipoint moulding with 3D-printed components, enabling more efficient and flexible CFRP component manufacturing. With his most-cited paper garnering 7 citations, Seitz’s work is gaining traction in the field of automated composite fabrication. His studies represent critical early steps toward scalable, cost-effective production of complex composite parts, positioning him as an emerging authority in industrial additive manufacturing and tooling innovation.
