About

Petter Hagqvist is a researcher focused on advancing laser-based additive manufacturing and welding processes, with a particular emphasis on process monitoring and automation. His work centers on improving the reliability and control of laser metal wire deposition—a key technique for producing high-quality metal components. Hagqvist’s most-cited paper, "Resistance measurements for control of laser metal wire deposition" (2013, 25 citations), introduces an innovative method using real-time resistance monitoring to enhance deposition accuracy and stability, directly addressing challenges in industrial applications. In his 2015 study on "Automation of a laser welding system for additive manufacturing," he explores the integration of standard robotised laser welding cells for 3D printing, highlighting both the benefits—such as flexibility and cost-efficiency—and the technical hurdles, including process consistency and system calibration. This work underscores his contribution to bridging additive manufacturing with conventional welding technologies. With a total of 29 citations across his key papers, Hagqvist’s research offers practical insights for engineers and scientists seeking to automate and refine laser-based manufacturing, making him a notable voice in the evolution of industrial 3D printing.
