About
William G. Carter is a leading researcher in advanced manufacturing, specializing in large-scale wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) and multi-robot coordination. His work addresses critical challenges in scaling additive manufacturing for industrial applications, particularly through the development of scalable multi-robot systems that enable the rapid production of large components using low-cost wire feedstocks. Carter’s most influential paper, "Strategies for a scalable multi-robot large scale wire arc additive manufacturing system" (2023, 27 citations), introduces novel configurations for coordinating multiple robotic welders, significantly improving efficiency and part size capabilities. He has also made notable contributions to process monitoring, as seen in his work on thermal management using IR cameras (2019), which helps prevent defects by tracking temperature rises during deposition. With a focus on bridging the gap between single-robot and multi-robot systems, Carter’s research is pivotal for industries like aerospace and automotive, where large, high-quality metal parts are essential. His achievements include advancing real-time thermal control strategies, making WAAM more reliable and scalable for practical use.
