About
Vincent Querard is a leading researcher in advanced manufacturing, with a primary focus on Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) and the automation of large-scale metallic part production. His most cited work, "A Multiaxis Tool Path Generation Approach for Thin Wall Structures Made with WAAM" (2021), addresses a critical bottleneck in the field: the need for intelligent, multi-axis path planning to produce complex, thin-walled geometries with high precision. This contribution is foundational for moving WAAM beyond simple shapes toward industrial-grade components. Querard’s research bridges welding metallurgy, robotics, and computer-aided manufacturing, enabling the fabrication of high-dimensional parts that were previously impossible or cost-prohibitive. With over 18 citations on this key paper alone, his work is gaining traction among engineers seeking to reduce material waste and lead times in sectors like aerospace and energy. By integrating high-performance welding generators with NC-controlled 6- or 8-axis systems, Querard is helping to define the next generation of sustainable, large-scale additive manufacturing.
