About

Jordan Kalman is a leading researcher in advanced manufacturing and composite materials, with a focus on the intersection of additive manufacturing and high-performance polymers. His work centers on developing and characterizing novel processing techniques for continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastics, particularly using robotic 3D printing to create complex, lightweight structures. Kalman’s most-cited paper, "Tensile and thermal properties of low-melt poly aryl ether ketone reinforced with continuous carbon fiber manufactured by robotic 3D printing" (2022, 15 citations), demonstrates his expertise in tailoring material properties for demanding applications. This study systematically investigated how robotic deposition parameters influence the mechanical and thermal behavior of carbon fiber-reinforced poly aryl ether ketone (PAEK) composites, offering critical insights for aerospace and automotive industries seeking to replace metal components with durable, heat-resistant polymers. By bridging the gap between traditional composite manufacturing and additive processes, Kalman’s work advances the scalability and performance of 3D-printed structural parts. His contributions are particularly notable for addressing challenges in melt-processable high-temperature thermoplastics, enabling more efficient production of lightweight, high-strength components. With growing citation impact, Kalman is establishing himself as a key voice in the evolution of robotic additive manufacturing for next-generation engineering materials.
