About
Klaus Dilger is a leading figure in production and joining technology, with a research focus that bridges additive manufacturing, materials science, and automated assembly. His most impactful work centers on the design and parameter identification of Wire and Arc Additively Manufactured (WAAM) steel bars for construction, a 2019 paper that has garnered 141 citations. This contribution is pivotal in advancing the use of additive manufacturing for complex, free-form steel components in the architecture and construction sectors, highlighting the potential for automation and design flexibility. Beyond additive manufacturing, Dilger has explored form-flexible handling and joining technologies, as seen in his 2014 work on the FormHand project, which addresses the challenge of assembling limp, elastic materials—a process often reliant on manual labor. With over two decades at the Technische Universität München, his work has significantly influenced industrial automation and structural engineering. His achievements include pioneering methods that reduce manual intervention in production, making him a key innovator in modern manufacturing science.
