About

Peter Jaeschke is a specialist in advanced laser material processing, with a focused research program centered on the precision cutting and machining of carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) and fiber reinforced composites (FRC). His work addresses one of modern manufacturing's most pressing challenges: developing reliable, industrially scalable methods for processing lightweight composite materials that are increasingly vital to automotive and aerospace engineering. Jaeschke's most influential contribution, "Laser cutting of composites—Two approaches toward an industrial establishment" (2016, 41 citations), established foundational strategies for bringing laser-based CFRP cutting into real-world production environments. Building on this, he pioneered robot-based remote laser cutting systems capable of processing complex three-dimensional automotive parts up to 5mm thick, bridging the gap between laboratory research and shop-floor application. His investigations into fibre-guided nanosecond pulsed laser sources further refined the relationship between optical fibre diameter, cut quality, and processing efficiency — critical parameters for industrial deployment. With a broader vision articulated in his 2019 work on fostering widespread composite adoption, Jaeschke consistently frames his technical contributions within the urgent global context of resource efficiency and sustainable transportation. His research offers students and engineers a rigorous, application-driven roadmap for integrating laser technology into next-generation lightweight manufacturing.
