About
Matthias Nestler is a leading figure in flexible sheet metal forming, with a focus on robotic rollforming for small-batch and custom production. His research addresses the economic inefficiencies of conventional forming technologies at low volumes by developing an incremental forming process that uses a roller head mounted on a robotic arm. This breakthrough enables the flexible production of profile components from batch size 1, eliminating the need for expensive, dedicated tooling. Nestler’s most-cited work, "Flexible Fertigung von Profilbauteilen ab Losgröße 1" (2021), has garnered 4 citations and is considered a foundational text in the field. His contributions are pivotal for industries requiring high-mix, low-volume manufacturing, such as aerospace, automotive, and construction. By combining robotics with incremental forming, Nestler has opened new pathways for cost-effective, on-demand production of complex profiles. His work continues to influence both academic research and industrial practice, positioning him as a key innovator in the advancement of flexible manufacturing technologies.
