About
Annika Wagner is a leading innovator in the field of additive manufacturing, with a specialized focus on developing high-performance thermosetting polymers for 3D printing. Her research bridges materials science and advanced manufacturing, primarily targeting the formulation of novel inks for PolyJet technology. Wagner’s most significant contribution is her pioneering work on bismaleimide (BMI) resins, a class of thermosets known for their exceptional thermal and mechanical properties. Her seminal 2019 paper, "3D Printing of Bismaleimides: From New Ink Formulation to Printed Thermosetting Polymer Objects," which has garnered 45 citations, details the first successful formulation of a printable BMI ink. This breakthrough enables the fabrication of complex, high-precision polymer objects that can withstand extreme environments, a feat previously unattainable with conventional 3D printing materials. By solving the challenge of printing thermosets—materials that cure irreversibly—Wagner has opened new avenues for producing durable, heat-resistant components for aerospace, automotive, and electronics industries. Her work stands as a critical step toward expanding the material palette of additive manufacturing, directly impacting the creation of next-generation engineering parts.
