About

Alexander Hemmen is a leading figure in advanced manufacturing, with a focused expertise in the automation of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) production for the aerospace industry. His seminal work, "Automatic Handling of Carbon Fiber Preforms for CFRP Parts in Aerospace," has garnered 3 citations and established a foundational framework for integrating robotics into the resin transfer molding (RTM) process. Hemmen’s major contribution lies in developing robot-assisted process chains that significantly enhance the precision and efficiency of handling delicate carbon fiber preforms, a critical step in producing lightweight, high-strength aerospace components. By demonstrating how automation can be incrementally increased within the RTM workflow, his research directly addresses industry challenges in scalability and quality control. This work, conducted at Premium AEROTEC, has paved the way for more reliable and cost-effective manufacturing of CFRP parts, reducing manual labor and material waste. Hemmen’s achievements underscore his role in bridging the gap between traditional composite fabrication and modern, automated production systems, making him a key innovator in the field of aerospace manufacturing engineering.
