About
Matthias Kleiner is a pioneering figure in manufacturing engineering, with a primary focus on advanced extrusion technologies for lightweight materials. His key research areas include three-dimensional curved profile extrusion, flexible forming processes, and near-net-shape production methods for aluminum and other metals. Kleiner’s major contributions center on developing integrated extrusion processes that overcome the limitations of conventional manufacturing chains, enabling the production of complex, three-dimensionally curved profiles with improved quality and applicability for low-volume production. His seminal 2006 paper, “Three-Dimensional Curved Profile Extrusion – First Results on the Influence of Gravity,” has garnered 13 citations and remains a foundational reference in the field, demonstrating how gravity effects can be harnessed rather than mitigated in extrusion. Kleiner’s work has significantly advanced the flexibility and efficiency of metal forming, directly impacting industries such as automotive and aerospace where lightweight, complex geometries are critical. His 2010 study further refined these methods, emphasizing near-net-shape capabilities. Through his innovative research, Kleiner has established himself as a key contributor to modern manufacturing science, bridging the gap between theoretical process design and practical industrial application.
