About
Marcel Mendes is a leading researcher in advanced manufacturing, with a primary focus on wire-arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) and automated process control. His most notable contribution is the development of iWAAM, an automated system for monitoring and control of WAAM depositions, published in 2023. This work integrates the Robot Operating System (ROS) with the kuka_experimental package to create a robust communication framework, enabling precise, real-time oversight of additive manufacturing processes. By addressing critical challenges in deposition quality and system automation, Mendes’ research directly advances the industrial viability of WAAM for large-scale metal part production. With 10 citations to date, his work is gaining traction among researchers and engineers seeking to enhance manufacturing efficiency and reliability. Mendes’ innovative approach to combining robotics and software frameworks positions him as a key contributor to the next generation of smart manufacturing systems, offering practical solutions for monitoring and control that bridge the gap between laboratory research and industrial application.
