About
Andrew Duguid is a leading researcher in additive manufacturing, with a particular focus on cold spray technology and the post-processing of metal components. His work centers on understanding how build orientation and heat treatment influence the mechanical properties of additively manufactured parts, especially in copper—a material critical for thermal and electrical applications. His most-cited study, "Effect of build orientation and post-build heat treatment on the mechanical properties of cold spray additively manufactured copper parts" (2020), has garnered 49 citations, establishing a foundational reference for optimizing cold spray processes. Through this research, Duguid has demonstrated how strategic orientation and thermal treatments can significantly enhance strength, ductility, and microstructure, bridging the gap between as-sprayed deposits and conventionally manufactured metals. His contributions are vital for advancing cold spray as a viable technique for producing high-performance, complex copper components in industries such as aerospace, electronics, and energy. By systematically correlating process parameters with final part quality, Duguid provides engineers and researchers with actionable insights for improving reliability and scalability in additive manufacturing.
