The Master’s thesis, entitled “Machine code generation for simultaneous robot-assisted additive manufacturing with process simulation and an experimental study on flat and curved fibre-reinforced composite structures”, marks the completion of Mr Jan Loos’s research work as part of the Master of Applied Research in Engineering Sciences (M-APR), in which students work on research topics that build upon one another each semester.
The aim of the thesis was to achieve the additive manufacturing of secondary elements on curved organic sheets. To this end, a robotic 3D printing system was developed. A specially programmed MATLAB application was used for the generation of robot code. The quality of adhesion between the structures was investigated by means of an experimental study.
Jan Loos was supervised in the Fibre Composite Technology Laboratory at the Neustadt an der Donau Technology Campus by Anna Judenmann, Michael Dirscherl and Prof. Dr.-Ing. Ingo Ehrlich.
