Kunstmann, Kornelia
Kornelia Kunstmann studied aerospace engineering at the University of Stuttgart in Germany. She has several years of industrial experience, particularly in the aerospace industry, where she worked on ceramic re-entry structures, cryogenic rocket upper stage technologies, and electric motors for aerospace and vacuum applications.
The knowledge of producing additive manufactured (AM) parts that require less or no post-processing is a major challenge. Approaches such as the hybrid design show a promising potential to reduce post-processing steps. In this case hybrid is the combination of conventionally and additive manufactured components. In her research, Kornelia explores the potential use, limitations and challenges of additive produced hybrid components. The focus is on titanium as a material. With its good mechanical properties and its biocompatibility, it is particularly appreciated in aerospace and medical technology.
