About
Ivan Huarte is a leading researcher in advanced manufacturing, specializing in wire and arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) and the optimization of welding processes for metallic materials. His work has significantly advanced the understanding of deposition techniques, particularly through his highly cited 2018 study comparing Cold Metal Transfer (CMT) and TopTIG processes for stainless steel. This paper, with 166 citations, has become a foundational reference for engineers seeking to improve material properties and process efficiency in additive manufacturing. Huarte’s contributions extend to characterizing microstructural evolution and mechanical performance in additively manufactured components, directly impacting industries like aerospace and tooling. His research bridges the gap between fundamental welding science and practical industrial application, earning recognition for its clarity and reproducibility. By systematically evaluating process parameters, he has helped establish WAAM as a viable, cost-effective alternative to traditional subtractive methods. Huarte’s work continues to guide both academic researchers and industry practitioners in developing robust, high-quality metallic parts through additive techniques.
