About

Dr. Sandeep Karnwal is a pioneering researcher in advanced manufacturing and materials engineering, with a focused expertise in 3D printing technologies and sustainable thermoplastic applications. His most cited work, "Robotic Arm by using 3D printing and Polylactic Acid (PLA) Wire – Challenges and Solutions" (2023), addresses critical barriers in additive manufacturing, demonstrating how PLA—a biodegradable thermoplastic—can be optimized for complex, functional robotic components. This research bridges the gap between material science and industrial robotics, offering practical solutions for sectors ranging from automotive to medical devices. By systematically analyzing challenges such as layer adhesion, warping, and print fidelity, Karnwal’s contributions enable more reliable, cost-effective production of robotic arms using accessible 3D printing methods. His work has already garnered attention (3 citations in its first year), signaling growing impact in the field. Karnwal’s research stands out for its dual emphasis on sustainability and industrial applicability, making him a key voice in the transition toward eco-friendly, decentralized manufacturing. His findings empower engineers and researchers to leverage PLA’s advantages—biodegradability, ease of printing, and low cost—while overcoming technical hurdles, paving the way for broader adoption of 3D-printed robotics in real-world applications.
