About
Emil Johansson is a rising force in advanced manufacturing, whose work is shaping the future of large-scale additive manufacturing (AM) for polymers and composites. His research focuses on the critical intersection of robotics, thermal dynamics, and material science, tackling the fundamental challenges that prevent the industrial scaling of robotic extrusion systems. Johansson’s most cited work, “Large-Scale Robot-Based Polymer and Composite Additive Manufacturing: Failure Modes and Thermal Simulation” (2022), has already garnered 10 citations, establishing a foundational framework for understanding process failures. In this seminal paper, he systematically identifies and classifies failure modes—from warping to delamination—and couples them with thermal simulation models, providing engineers with a predictive tool to optimize print parameters and material selection. This contribution is pivotal for moving large-format AM from prototyping to reliable production. By bridging the gap between robotic path planning and heat transfer physics, Johansson is enabling the creation of stronger, more consistent, and larger composite structures for industries like aerospace and automotive. His work is a cornerstone for anyone seeking to master the complexities of robot-based additive manufacturing.
