About
Thilo Feucht is a pioneering researcher in structural steel construction, specializing in additive manufacturing (3D printing) with steel using robotic welding. His work focuses on Wire and Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM), a technique that employs robot-guided gas-shielded metal arc welding to build complex steel components layer by layer. Feucht’s major contributions include demonstrating the feasibility of printing connection elements, beam reinforcements, and even entire pedestrian bridges in situ—a breakthrough for on-site construction automation. His most-cited paper, “3D printing with steel” (2020, 93 citations), established foundational methods for robotic fabrication, while “Additive manufacturing by means of parametric robot programming” (53 citations) advanced the software-driven control of welding robots. Notably, his 2022 paper on additive manufacturing of a bridge in situ was nominated for the Eurosteel 2021 Best Paper Award, highlighting the practical impact of his work. With over 300 total citations across his publications, Feucht’s research is shaping the future of automated steel construction, offering solutions to labor shortages and enabling the production of individualized, complex structural components with unprecedented efficiency.
