About

Pascal Mindermann is a leading researcher in the field of digital fabrication and lightweight construction, specializing in robotic coreless filament winding (CFW). His work focuses on advancing additive manufacturing techniques for large-scale building components, with a particular emphasis on automation, material efficiency, and quality control. Mindermann’s major contributions include the development of an impregnation end-effector with integrated fiber tension monitoring, a critical innovation for ensuring consistent fabrication parameters in robotic CFW. His research has been instrumental in demonstrating the viability of carbon- and glass-fiber-reinforced composites for structural applications, most notably through the creation of a hemispherical dome pavilion—the first large-scale lightweight roof structure of its kind. With key papers accumulating over 60 citations, Mindermann’s work has significantly impacted the integration of robotics and material science in construction. His achievements highlight the potential of coreless filament winding to revolutionize sustainable, automated building processes, making him a pivotal figure in the transition toward digitized, high-performance architecture.
