About

A. Sri Harsha is a researcher specializing in advanced additive manufacturing, with a particular focus on Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) and its integration with industrial robotics. His work addresses one of the most persistent challenges in conventional FDM processes — the staircase effect that degrades surface finish when printing curved or complex geometries. By harnessing the six degrees of freedom offered by industrial robots, Harsha has pioneered approaches that enable dynamic extruder orientation and non-linear tool path generation, capabilities simply unavailable in traditional FDM machines. His most impactful contribution, the 2021 study on fabricating an aircraft wing using robot-integrated FDM with non-linear tool path generation, has garnered 17 citations, demonstrating meaningful interest from the aerospace and manufacturing communities. His earlier investigations into dual nozzle FDM systems using industrial robots further expanded the boundaries of multi-material and high-complexity printing. Collectively, his body of work represents a systematic progression — from foundational robot-based FDM in 2019 to increasingly sophisticated applications — positioning him as a notable contributor to the growing field of robot-assisted additive manufacturing and its real-world aerospace applications.
