About

Robin Tomcin is a researcher at the intersection of robotics and advanced manufacturing, with a primary focus on automating post-processing tasks for additive manufacturing. His most cited work, "CAM Planning for Automatic Support Removal with Robotic Chiseling" (2022), introduces a novel toolpath planning algorithm that enables generic robotic cells to autonomously remove support structures—a critical bottleneck in metal 3D printing workflows. By developing a CAM strategy tailored for robotic chiseling, Tomcin addresses the labor-intensive and error-prone manual removal process, directly improving production efficiency and part quality. Though his citation count is still growing, this foundational paper has already garnered 3 citations, signaling early recognition in the field. His contributions are particularly notable for bridging the gap between additive manufacturing and flexible robotic automation, offering a scalable solution for industries like aerospace and automotive. Tomcin’s work stands out for its practical, industry-ready approach, positioning him as an emerging voice in smart manufacturing and robotic process optimization.
