About

Xinwei Du is a researcher specializing in additive manufacturing and robotic welding, with a particular focus on the repair and remanufacturing of industrial tooling. His work centers on wire and arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) techniques applied to hot-forging dies and trimming dies, addressing critical challenges in extending the service life of expensive metal components. Du’s major contribution lies in developing adaptive methods for welding torch pose adjustment during robotic arc welding, enabling precise material deposition onto worn or damaged die surfaces. His 2022 paper on adaptive torch pose control for hot-forging die remanufacturing has garnered 9 citations, establishing a foundation for automated repair strategies in heavy industry. A subsequent 2023 study on repairing trimming die edges with arc welding robots (3 citations) further demonstrates his practical approach to reducing downtime and material waste in manufacturing. Du’s research bridges the gap between robotic automation and sustainable manufacturing, offering cost-effective solutions for die maintenance. His work is particularly relevant for researchers and engineers in mechanical engineering, robotics, and sustainable production systems seeking to implement intelligent repair processes in industrial settings.
