Multi-material LPBF, novel feedstocks, and DfAM for production
Kamran Mumtaz is Professor of Additive Manufacturing at the University of Sheffield and a long-standing member of the AdAM (Advanced Additive Manufacturing) research group. His research focuses on multi-material LPBF — including in-process powder mixing, voxel-level material control, and graded interfaces between dissimilar alloys — and on the scalability of LPBF to production volumes. He has published widely on the LPBF processing of high-reflectivity copper alloys, on tooling-grade steels, and on the use of nano-additives for parameter-window broadening. Mumtaz leads industrial programmes with Sheffield's AMRC partners on aerospace and energy applications, and contributes to UK Catapult and EPSRC strategic AM initiatives.
