Dr. Edward W. Reutzel is the Director of Penn State’s Center for Innovative Material Processing through Direct Digital Deposition (CIMP-3D). He is also an Associate Research Professor at Penn State’s Applied Research Laboratory and serves as graduate faculty in Penn State’s Engineering Science and Mechanics Department and the Additive Manufacturing and Design Program. He earned his B.Sc. with honors from Pennsylvania State University, his M.Sc. from the Georgia Institute of Technology, and his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Pennsylvania State University. He has recently led numerous programs focused on the investigation and implementation of metal additive manufacturing (AM), including support for the Navy’s first demonstration of a flight-critical part, a Ti6Al4V AM link on the MV-22B Osprey. His research interests include process monitoring for AM process understanding, machine learning for quality control of metal-based AM processes, and process implementation.
