Biography

Martin Baumers is Assistant Professor of Additive Manufacturing Management at the Centre for Additive Manufacturing (CfAM) in the Faculty of Engineering. In his research, Martin focuses on the economics and efficient operation of AM as well as the benefits that can be derived from adopting the technology. Starting with his doctoral research, Martin's work has concentrated on the development of novel approaches to production costing and build time estimation. Further areas of interest are process selection, computational build volume packing and scheduling approaches and shape complexity measurement techniques. Martin also investigates the environmental sustainability of additive processes, with an emphasis on energy consumption, to assess whether AM provides a pathway to more sustainable manufacturing and more benign products. Recently, Martin has started investigating management in digital manufacturing settings from the ecosystems and platform perspectives.

Expertise Summary

• State-of-the-Art AM cost modelling for all types of AM technology, including capacity utilization, ancillary process steps, material wastage and build failure.
• AM build time and process energy consumption estimation techniques.
• AM process selection approaches (part-for-system and system-for-part).
• Computational build volume packing and machine scheduling, and combinations thereof, including implementation.
• Shape complexity measurement.
• Management of digital manufacturing technologies from the platform and ecosystems perspectives.
