About
Dr. Manickavasagam Krishnan is a leading figure in additive manufacturing, with a core focus on direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) and its application in producing lightweight structural components. His seminal 2013 work, "Direct Metal Laser Sintering: an additive manufacturing technology ready to produce lightweight structural parts for robotic applications," has garnered 84 citations, establishing a foundational framework for using DMLS to fabricate near-net-shaped parts directly from CAD data. By demonstrating how laser-based layer melting can create complex, three-dimensional objects for robotics, Krishnan has helped bridge the gap between prototyping and functional, load-bearing production. His research addresses critical challenges in reducing part weight while maintaining structural integrity, making him a key contributor to the evolution of metal additive manufacturing. Krishnan’s work continues to influence engineers and researchers seeking to deploy DMLS in aerospace, automotive, and robotic systems, where performance and material efficiency are paramount.
