About

Achim Kampker is a leading figure in advanced manufacturing, with a research focus on additive manufacturing (AM) and smart production systems. His work is pivotal in addressing one of AM’s greatest challenges: the low-cost production of large-scale parts. Kampker’s major contribution is a comprehensive review of machine designs for material extrusion-based AM, including big area additive manufacturing (BAAM). This work, which has garnered 24 citations, provides a status-quo analysis and a roadmap for future machine development, directly influencing the evolution of industrial 3D printing. Beyond hardware, Kampker drives the digital transformation of factories. His research on enabling smart workplaces through adaptive software frameworks (6 citations) demonstrates a commitment to integrating intelligent systems into production environments. By bridging the gap between novel machine architectures and digital work support, Kampker is shaping the future of flexible, efficient manufacturing. His work is essential reading for engineers and researchers aiming to understand the trajectory of large-scale additive manufacturing and the implementation of Industry 4.0 principles.
