About

Mathias Bernhard is a leading researcher in computational design and digital fabrication, with a focus on advancing additive manufacturing through robotic systems. His key research areas include nonplanar 3D printing, robotic fabrication, and the development of novel print path geometries. Bernhard's major contributions lie in pioneering methods for robotic additive manufacturing that transcend traditional planar layering, enabling the creation of complex, bifurcating forms and single-shell surfaces with unprecedented design freedom. His work on "Nonplanar 3D Printing of Bifurcating Forms" (2021) and "Print Paths Key-framing" (2020), each garnering 35 citations, demonstrates the impact of his innovations in unlocking new potentials for large-scale, non-planar printing. By introducing techniques like key-framing for robotic FDM printing, Bernhard has enabled seamless transitions between layers, significantly expanding the design space for architects and engineers. His research bridges computational geometry and fabrication, offering practical tools for creating lightweight, structurally optimized objects. Bernhard's achievements are recognized as foundational in the field of robotic additive manufacturing, inspiring further exploration into adaptive, non-planar printing strategies.
