About

Martin Klingenbrunner is a researcher specializing in advanced manufacturing processes, with a particular focus on the thermal and mechanical behavior of thermoplastic materials during robotic forming. His work centers on the critical interplay between temperature, spring-back, and morphological structure in incremental forming operations. Klingenbrunner’s key contribution lies in characterizing the emissivity factor of thermoplastics—a fundamental parameter for accurately determining forming temperatures in robot bending processes. This research is essential for improving process control and product quality in automated manufacturing. His most-cited paper, "Emissivity Factor of Thermoplastic Materials for a Robot Bending Process" (2016), has garnered 9 citations, reflecting its niche but valuable impact on the field of thermal forming. By providing a method to measure material-specific properties during deformation, Klingenbrunner has helped bridge the gap between material science and robotic fabrication, enabling more precise temperature regulation and reduced spring-back in semi-finished products. His work is particularly relevant for industries seeking to optimize thermoplastic forming for lightweight, high-performance components.
