About

Tiago Borsoi Klein is a researcher at the forefront of advanced manufacturing, specializing in the robotic machining of carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP). His work addresses critical challenges in high-tech industries like aerospace and automotive, where CFRP’s exceptional strength-to-weight ratio is highly valued but its machining remains difficult. Klein’s major contributions focus on adapting industrial robots for precise material removal, particularly through pocket milling and general machining operations. His most cited paper, “Evaluation of carbon fiber reinforced polymer – CFRP – machining by applying industrial robots” (2021, 13 citations), systematically assesses how robotic systems can overcome issues like tool wear and delamination. Complementing this, his 2019 study on pocket milling (11 citations) demonstrates practical solutions for creating complex geometries in composite parts. With a combined citation count of 24 for these key works, Klein is establishing a reputation for bridging robotics and composite manufacturing. His research is notable for its direct industrial relevance, offering cost-effective and flexible alternatives to traditional CNC machining. For students and researchers, Klein’s work provides a vital roadmap for integrating automation into the processing of next-generation materials.
