About

Markus Feldmann is a leading figure in the digital transformation of steel construction, pioneering the integration of additive manufacturing and robotics into structural engineering. His research centers on automated Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) for large-scale steel components, a breakthrough that bridges the gap between traditional construction and Industry 4.0. His most cited work, "3D printing in steel construction with the automated Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing" (2019, 25 citations), demonstrates how powder-based 3D printing—previously confined to aerospace and mechanical engineering—can be scaled for structural steel applications. This contribution is foundational for producing complex, customized steel elements with reduced material waste and enhanced design freedom. Additionally, his work on "Robotik im Stahlbau 4.0" (2019, 7 citations) explores how digital planning, automated production, and robotic fabrication can transform traditional steel construction into a flexible, individualized manufacturing process. Feldmann’s research is highly influential in advancing sustainable, efficient, and innovative construction methods, positioning him as a key architect of the next generation of steel building technologies. His achievements are vital for students and researchers interested in the intersection of digital fabrication, structural engineering, and sustainable construction.
