About

Dominik Peter Patrick Delisle is a leading figure in advanced manufacturing for aerospace composites, specializing in automated fiber placement (AFP) and robotic production systems. His work addresses a critical industry challenge: scaling up the production of carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) while reducing costs and maintaining quality. Delisle’s most cited paper, “Advanced Automated Fibre Placement” (2013, 13 citations), details the development of the GroFi® project at the German Aerospace Center (DLR), where he pioneered novel plant designs, processes, and sensor systems to boost production rates. He further advanced the field by demonstrating how multiple cooperating industrial robots can efficiently lay up large CFRP structures, as seen in his 2018 works (each with 2 citations). These contributions are pivotal for next-generation transportation—enabling lighter, stronger, and more cost-effective aircraft and vehicles. Delisle’s research directly supports the industrialization of composite manufacturing, bridging the gap between laboratory innovation and high-volume production. His achievements underscore his role in shaping the future of automated, robot-driven composite fabrication.
