About
Anne-Marie Lanouette is a materials engineer whose research bridges advanced manufacturing and the extreme demands of space exploration. Her work centers on two key areas: additive manufacturing of multifunctional microsystems and the mechanical resilience of aerospace composites. Her most impactful contribution, the 2013 paper “Solvent‐Cast Three‐Dimensional Printing of Multifunctional Microsystems” (202 citations), introduced a novel solvent-cast direct-write technique. By robotically microextruding a thermoplastic polymer solution with rapid solvent evaporation, Lanouette enabled the fabrication of rigid, free-standing microstructures—a breakthrough that expanded the possibilities for 3D-printed microdevices in sensors and biomedical tools. This work has been widely recognized as foundational in the field of microscale additive manufacturing. In a complementary study (2015, 22 citations), she investigated the residual mechanical properties of carbon fiber/PEEK composites used in space robotic arms after simulated orbital debris impacts, providing critical data for designing more durable spacecraft components. Lanouette’s research demonstrates a rare ability to connect fundamental materials science with practical engineering challenges, making her a notable figure in both advanced manufacturing and aerospace materials.
