Samuel is a Project Engineer with our Precision Manufacturing department in Diepenbeek. He supports companies to implement technological innovations in the field of precision manufacturing and to analyse technical and economical feasibilities. He works on AM integration strategies in production processes through finish machining of AM parts. Samuel is a part of the core team of the department working on Europe’s first Industry 4.0 demonstrator.
Samuel received his PhD from the University of Tours (France) for his work on the machinability of titanium alloys made with additive manufacturing (AM) methods such as selective laser melting (SLM) and electron beam melting (EBM) processes. His areas of expertise include material science, metal cutting technology, AM, CAD-CAM, surface integrity and numerical modelling methods. He has presented papers on several international conferences and seminars in his field. Samuel is passionate about contributing towards sustainable production technologies with reduced carbon foot-print and improving the product cycle through redesign and re-engineering.
