investigates the usability and properties of prefabricated fiber reinforcements, which are produced in a robotic winding process, for various AM processes. This includes the further development and sensing of an automated production process of fiber reinforcement for the requirements of the project. In addition, his work ranges from the integration of it into a self-controlling robotic winding process to the verification of the functionality of fiber reinforcement production with different materials and the analysis of the requirements for on-site robotic fabrication.

Jan Thormählen is a doctoral researcher at the Institute for Construction Engineering and Management. In project C06, he is collaborating with the Digital Construction Site (DCS) to develop fabrication strategies and streamlined production processes for additive manufacturing. This involves a comparative analysis with conventional construction processes and working strategies to enhance productivity. Consequently, the implementation of additive manufacturing in construction will be facilitated by enhancing the integration of digital processes.
