About
Connor Theisen’s research lies at the intersection of additive manufacturing and wearable robotics, with a focused drive to enhance human mobility. His most-cited work, “The Use of Additive Manufacturing to Fabricate Structural Components for Wearable Robotic Devices” (2015), pioneers the application of Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3D printing to create lightweight, custom-fit structural parts for exoskeletons and gait-assist devices. By demonstrating that additively manufactured components can meet the mechanical demands of wearable robotics, Theisen opened a pathway toward faster, more cost-effective prototyping and personalized assistive technology. Though his citation count is still growing—reflecting an emerging career—this foundational paper has influenced subsequent designs in human-robot interaction and rehabilitation engineering. Theisen’s work is notable for bridging materials science with biomechanics, showing how accessible 3D printing can accelerate innovation in devices that support able-bodied and impaired individuals alike. For students and researchers, his contributions underscore the transformative potential of merging manufacturing flexibility with robotic assistance, making wearable tech more practical and scalable.
