About
Matthias Oechsner is a pioneering researcher in the field of additive manufacturing for structural steel construction, with a particular focus on Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM). His key research areas encompass welding processes for 3D-printed cantilevered components, the automation of steel fabrication, and the integration of robotic systems in construction. Oechsner’s major contribution lies in developing and characterizing welding parameters that enable the reliable additive manufacturing of complex, overhanging steel geometries—a critical challenge for load-bearing architectural elements. His most cited work, “Welding Process for the Additive Manufacturing of Cantilevered Components with the WAAM” (2020), has accumulated 33 citations, demonstrating its influence in advancing WAAM from laboratory experiments toward practical application. Additionally, his German-language publication “3D‐Druck im Stahlbau” (2020) addresses the industry’s urgent need for automated solutions amid skilled labor shortages, bridging the gap between research and real-world construction. Oechsner’s work not only pushes the boundaries of what can be printed in steel but also provides actionable process parameters that help engineers and fabricators adopt additive manufacturing for bespoke connections and full-scale components. His research is essential reading for students and professionals interested in the future of digital fabrication in structural engineering.
