About
Lars Thyssen is a leading researcher in the field of robot-based incremental sheet forming (ISF), with a focus on enhancing geometric accuracy for small-batch and prototype sheet metal production. His work centers on the development of the “Roboforming” process, which uses two cooperating industrial robots to shape sheet metal without part-specific dies. Thyssen’s major contributions include the automated and geometry-dependent parameterization of local support at every toolpath point, which significantly improves part precision. His most cited paper (2019, 17 citations) details a CAM-driven approach to increase accuracy through tailored experiments and specimen design. He has also explored the influence of part orientation on geometric fidelity and the use of stiffening elements to reduce deformation errors. Additionally, Thyssen pioneered the integration of additive manufacturing for flexible die-modelling, combining robot-based forming with 3D-printed supports. With a cumulative impact of over 50 citations across his key works, Thyssen’s research is instrumental in advancing dieless forming technologies, offering cost-effective solutions for low-volume production. His innovative methodologies continue to shape the future of flexible manufacturing.
