About

Artur Mateus is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of advanced manufacturing, sustainable materials, and digital fabrication technologies. His research focuses primarily on additive manufacturing, Industry 4.0 applications, and the use of eco-friendly composite materials in large-scale production contexts. Mateus has made notable contributions to the field of large-scale additive manufacturing, particularly through his exploration of eco-composites — a subject that has attracted significant academic attention, with his 2017 study accumulating 36 citations. His work bridges environmental sustainability with cutting-edge fabrication techniques, demonstrating how green materials can be integrated into modern manufacturing workflows. His engagement with Industry 4.0 principles is evident in his research on Digital Twin technology applied to Direct Digital Manufacturing, reflecting his interest in smart, data-driven production systems. This work is rooted in the industrial heritage of Marinha Grande, Portugal, a region with deep ties to moulding and rapid manufacturing. More recently, Mateus has expanded his focus to the construction industry, investigating how 3D printing technologies — including the innovative use of stone sludge as a building material — can transform traditional construction practices. Together, these contributions position him as a versatile and forward-thinking voice in the future of sustainable, digitally-enabled manufacturing.
