About

Simon Zeidler is a rising researcher at the forefront of sustainable engineering and advanced manufacturing, specializing in lightweight design and carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CoFRP) production. His work bridges the critical gap between conceptual design and material innovation, focusing on two key areas: developing creativity methods for sustainable product development and pioneering additive manufacturing processes for high-performance thermoplastics. Zeidler’s most cited paper, “Lightweight creativity methods for idea generation and evaluation in the conceptual phase of lightweight and sustainable design” (2023, 10 citations), introduces systematic approaches to integrate lightweight principles early in design, offering engineers practical tools to reduce material consumption and environmental impact. His more recent work, “Novel Processes for the Production of Continuous Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Thermoplastic Polymers via Additive Manufacturing and Comparisons” (2025, 3 citations), pushes boundaries by enabling tool-free, load-path-optimized CoFRP parts with superior tensile properties and minimal waste. Though early in his career, Zeidler’s contributions are already shaping how industries approach eco-efficient design and next-generation composite manufacturing. His research promises to accelerate the adoption of lightweight, sustainable materials in aerospace, automotive, and beyond, making him a notable voice in the evolving landscape of green engineering and digital fabrication.
