About

Thomas Herzog is a researcher focused on advancing manufacturing processes for composite materials, particularly through the integration of additive manufacturing and robotic fabrication. His key research areas include fused filament fabrication (FFF), robotic manufacturing, and the development of enhanced multipoint moulding techniques for carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP). Herzog’s major contributions center on the Enhanced Multipoint Moulding with Additive Attachments (EMMA) process, which combines vacuum-assisted multipoint moulding with additively manufactured attachments to improve CFRP component production. In his most-cited work (2022, 7 citations), he investigated the transferability of material extrusion from conventional to robotic FFF on silicone build plates, demonstrating the potential for more flexible, automated fabrication. His follow-up study (2022, 2 citations) explored the mouldability of these additively manufactured attachments, laying groundwork for more efficient, customizable tooling in composite manufacturing. While his citation counts are modest, Herzog’s work represents an important early step in bridging additive and robotic manufacturing for high-performance materials, offering practical insights for researchers and engineers seeking to streamline CFRP production.
