About
Prashant Sharma is a researcher at the forefront of advanced manufacturing, with a primary focus on wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) of aluminium alloys. His work addresses a critical challenge in robotic WAAM: controlling deposition quality to produce high-integrity, defect-free components. In his most-cited paper, "Enhancing deposition quality in robotic WAAM of aluminium alloy: the role of deposition angle" (2025), Sharma systematically investigates how varying the deposition angle influences bead geometry, porosity, and mechanical properties. This contribution provides a practical, data-driven framework for optimizing robotic path planning, directly improving the reliability and repeatability of large-scale metal additive manufacturing. Though early in his career, his research has already garnered attention for its immediate industrial relevance, offering actionable insights for sectors like aerospace and automotive where lightweight, high-strength aluminium parts are essential. Sharma’s work bridges the gap between fundamental process science and real-world robotic automation, positioning him as an emerging voice in the evolution of sustainable, near-net-shape production. His findings are a valuable resource for students and engineers seeking to master the nuances of WAAM process control.
