About
Volker Wesling is a leading figure in the field of additive manufacturing, with a particular focus on wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) and the metallurgical properties of welded structures. His research centers on the intersection of process engineering and materials science, where he explores how to precisely control both the geometry and the microstructure of additively manufactured components. In his highly cited 2023 work, "Properties oriented WAAM—microstructural and geometrical control in WAAM of low-alloy steel," Wesling addresses two critical industrial challenges: achieving accurate near-net shapes and ensuring desirable material properties in low-alloy steel parts. This dual focus on geometrical precision and microstructural integrity has positioned his work as essential reading for researchers aiming to industrialize WAAM. With over 15 citations on this paper alone, his contributions are shaping the next generation of robotic welding and computer-aided manufacturing strategies. Wesling’s research is particularly valuable for students and engineers seeking to bridge the gap between traditional welding expertise and modern, digitalized production techniques.
