About
Dr. Matthias Hackel is a leading figure in laser-based additive manufacturing, with a focused expertise in process monitoring and control for large-scale component production. His research primarily addresses the critical challenge of maintaining consistent working distance in laser metal deposition (LMD), a key parameter for ensuring part quality and process stability. Hackel’s major contribution lies in developing advanced monitoring and control capabilities that enable real-time adjustment of the working distance during deposition, directly tackling the difficulties posed by complex geometries and long build times. His seminal 2023 paper, "Approach for advanced working distance monitoring and control capability in laser metal deposition processing for additive manufacturing," has already garnered 3 citations, establishing a foundation for more reliable and automated LMD systems. This work is particularly impactful for industries seeking to scale up additive manufacturing for large, functional metal components, where even minor distance deviations can lead to defects. Hackel’s achievements highlight a crucial step toward industrializing LMD, making him a key contributor to the future of robust, large-scale additive manufacturing.
