About
Geir Langelandsvik is a researcher advancing the field of wire-arc additive manufacturing (WAAM), with a focus on expanding its geometric capabilities for large-scale, complex metal structures. His work addresses a critical limitation in additive manufacturing: the difficulty of creating overhanging features without support structures. In his most-cited paper (2022, 22 citations), Langelandsvik experimentally demonstrates depositing material onto a fixed substrate to achieve overhangs, offering a practical path toward more versatile, freeform fabrication. He further explores the use of robot manipulators for WAAM (2019, 13 citations), enabling the production of intricate geometries that traditional layer-by-layer methods cannot achieve. By tackling these challenges, Langelandsvik contributes to making WAAM a viable technique for industrial applications, such as tooling and structural components. His work is particularly relevant for researchers and engineers seeking to push beyond the constraints of conventional 3D printing, offering solutions that combine the cost-efficiency of wire-based deposition with the flexibility of robotic motion.
