About
M. Fasching is a pioneering researcher in the field of robotic thermal spray shape deposition, a novel additive manufacturing process that builds net-shape parts through incremental material layering. His foundational work, particularly the highly cited 1993 paper "Planning robotic trajectories for thermal spray shape deposition" (41 citations), established core methodologies for generating robotic paths that ensure uniform material deposition. Fasching’s major contribution lies in addressing the critical challenge of spray distribution asymmetries, developing optimization strategies that enable the fabrication of thin, flat layers with improved precision. His 2018 follow-up paper (8 citations) further refined these trajectory planning techniques, demonstrating sustained engagement with the practical challenges of robotic manufacturing. While his citation counts reflect a specialized niche, Fasching’s work has been instrumental in advancing thermal spray technology from a conceptual process toward a viable fabrication method. His research bridges robotics, materials science, and manufacturing engineering, offering foundational insights for students and engineers working on automated additive manufacturing systems.
