About
Vishnuu Jothi Prakash is a researcher specializing in additive manufacturing, with a particular focus on directed energy deposition (DED) and laser metal deposition (LMD) processes. His work sits at the intersection of process control, quality assurance, and digital manufacturing, addressing some of the most critical challenges in translating metal 3D printing from laboratory settings into reliable industrial applications. Among his most notable contributions is his investigation into heat accumulation effects during laser metal deposition, which earned 14 citations and provided a foundational framework for analyzing and developing new process strategies when building complex 3D structures — a problem that had long hindered consistent quality in LMD. Building on this, his research into multidirectional height monitoring sensor systems for DED processes (7 citations) advanced the digitalization of additive manufacturing by enabling real-time geometric quality assurance, a critical step toward industrial adoption. His more recent work on automated process planning for DED reflects a continued commitment to streamlining and intelligent manufacturing workflows. Collectively, Prakash's research contributes meaningfully to making metal additive manufacturing more controllable, repeatable, and industry-ready, making his work highly relevant to engineers and researchers pursuing smarter, more reliable production systems.
