Additive Manufacturing in Construction
AMC TRR 277

Focus Area Project: Project A 07

M. Sc. Florian Jurke

is a research associate at the Chair of Welding Engineering at Chemnitz University of Technology. His focus is process analysis of arc-processes. He is particularly concerned with sensor integration and anomaly detection in arc-welding processes and additive manufacturing with wire and arc (DED-Arc).

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Harald Kloft

leads the scientific staff in the orientation and execution of the design process creation and supports them in an advisory capacity in the creation of test geometries and demonstrators. He is responsible for the content and organisational coordination of all work on the part of ITE. He instructs the research engineer at ITE in the conceptual structure, execution and evaluation of the theoretical and experimental research work. He is the spokesperson of the TRR 277.

Dr.-Ing. Vittoria Laghi

Dr. Vittoria Laghi is a post-doc researcher in Structural Design at University of Bologna, Italy. Her expertise lies in metal additive manufacturing (AM) solutions for structural applications, with specific focus on Wire-and-Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM). Dr. Laghi has contributed as guest researcher since 2021 in TP A07 for the design of new optimized solutions for construction. In particular, she visited TU Braunschweig as guest researcher for several month at the end of 2021, during which she worked on innovative diagrid solutions for pillars realized with WAAM dot-by-dot printing strategy. Both design and fabrication activities were carried out at ITE and DBFL. Additional studies were carried out on possible combination of WAAM dot-by-dot with shotcrete 3D printing (SC3DP) through a collaboration between AMC projects A07 and A04. From this, the FloWall concept was developed and presented in various competitions, winning important awards such as the Special Mention by Autodesk at 3D Pioneers Challenge 2022 and the Iconic award for its disruptive concept. The research outcomes of this collaborations were also presented in a publication accepted in MDPI Buildings journal. Dr. Laghi’s activities as guest researcher continued also in 2022, during which she supervised the research activities of A07 for the structural design part. She is supposed to become Project Leader in funding phase 2 within A07. Dr. Laghis’ cooperation within the AMC also contributes in exchanging activities between the German and Italian universities, by bringing Italian Master’s students at TU Braunschweig to pursue part of their Master’s Thesis abroad within the AMC program. So far, two Master’s students from University of Bologna (Lidiana Arrè and Edoardo Benvenuti) have participated in the exchange program to pursue their Master’s Thesis at TU Braunschweig under the co-supervision of Dr. Laghi and Prof. Dr. Kloft.

Dr.-Ing. Lukas Ledderose

is a postdoctoral researcher at the ITE. He is responsible for design strategies and possible applications. This includes the development of new structures, semi-finished parts and the concept for on-site WAAM as well as life cycle analysis and the creation of Digital Twins. He also prepares reports, presentations and publications.

M. Sc. Marc Müggenburg

doctoral researcher at IS. He is responsible for the planning and execution of all scientific work, both numerical and experimental, in the framework of WAAM. This includes material and component testing, material modeling, analysis of all data, preparation of reports, presentations and publications.

Dipl.-Ing. Christoph Müller

was a doctoral researcher for the duration of the research project carrying out the scientific studies. He will carry out the scientific studies: Design of WAAM components, creation of a design process for WAAM, creation of sample geometries.

M. Sc. Johanna Müller

was a doctoral researcher at ifs. She is responsible for the planning and execution of all scientific work, both numerical and experimental, in the framework of WAAM. This includes welding experiments, metal- lographic characterisation and material testing. She further analysis all data, prepares reports, presentations and publications.
