About
Jochen Schanz is a researcher at the forefront of laser material processing and robotic automation, with a specialized focus on the precision treatment of complex 3D freeform surfaces. His work addresses the critical challenge of applying laser technologies—ranging from polishing and hardening to 3D printing (SLM)—to intricate geometries where conventional methods fall short. Schanz’s major contribution lies in developing time-based offline track planning for robot-guided laser applications, a methodology that enables accurate, efficient, and repeatable processing of freeform surfaces without costly real-time adjustments. His most-cited paper, "Time-based offline track planning of robot guided laser applications for complex 3D freeform surfaces" (2019), has garnered 2 citations and serves as a foundational reference for researchers seeking to bridge the gap between robotic flexibility and laser precision. By integrating path planning with process parameters, Schanz has advanced the practical deployment of lasers in manufacturing, with implications for industries such as automotive, aerospace, and medical device production. His work continues to inspire innovations in adaptive, automated laser systems.
