Mehrshad Mehrpouya earned his Ph.D. degree through a fellowship program from Sapienza University of Rome, Italy. He is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Design, Production, and Management (DPM) at the University of Twente (UT). His research interests are directed toward Advanced Manufacturing, 3D/4D Printing, Functional Materials, and modeling. Tom Vaneker is an Associate Professor in the DPM Department at the University of Twente. His primary research interests focus on advanced manufacturing, including additive manufacturing process optimization, design for AM, and industrial robotics. He has been working with and lecturing about additive manufacturing for over 20 years. He serves as the coordinator for the ME Design and Manufacturing master’s program and as Program Director of the EngD Robotics post-master’s program. He also coordinates and teaches several master’s courses, including the 3D Printing and Processes course for students in Mechanical and Industrial Design Engineering programs. Ian Gibson is a professor in Industrial Design Engineering and Scientific Director of the University's Fraunhofer Project Centre in complex systems engineering at the University of Twente. His first teaching position was at Nottingham University in 1992, where he was introduced to Rapid Prototyping, which is now more commonly known as 3D Printing (3DP) or Additive Manufacturing (AM). Ian has spent the last 25+ years working with this extremely enabling technology to solve problems in healthcare, automotive, aerospace, and other industrial sectors by engaging in applied research. In 2017, Ian was awarded the Freeform and Additive Manufacturing Excellence (FAME) award in the US for his contribution to the academic AM community, something that only 9 other people have so far received.
