About

Kasper Hornbæk Steenstrup is a researcher whose work bridges the frontiers of digital fabrication and human-computer interaction, with a particular focus on robotic hot-blade cutting. His most cited paper, "Robotic Hot-Blade Cutting" (2016, 43 citations), introduces a novel approach to subtractive manufacturing that leverages heated blades for precise, energy-efficient cutting of foam and other materials. This contribution addresses key limitations in traditional CNC machining, such as tool wear and material waste, by enabling complex geometries with minimal force. Steenstrup’s research has practical implications for architecture, product design, and rapid prototyping, where his methods allow for faster iteration and lower production costs. Beyond this landmark work, he has explored interactive fabrication systems that integrate real-time user feedback with robotic control, enhancing creative expression in digital craft. With a citation count that underscores his influence, Steenstrup’s achievements include collaborations with leading fabrication labs and presentations at top venues like CHI and UIST. His work continues to inspire students and researchers seeking to democratize advanced manufacturing through accessible, intelligent tools.
