Biography

Magnus Kahlin is an Adjunct Associate Professor at Linköping University specializing in additive manufacturing with a focus on metal research. His research interests include the influence of process geometries on fatigue damage tolerance, aiming to establish vital insights that would enhance industry acceptance for high-performance products. Additive manufacturing (AM), often called 3D printing, represents a relatively novel production method that allows manufacturers to create physical components directly from computer models. This technique is primarily used to produce lighter weight and cost-effective industrial parts with complex geometries that are challenging or impossible to achieve using conventional methods. Kahlin's work emphasizes understanding the mechanical properties of metal components made through AM, which can differ significantly from those produced using traditional techniques due to the complexity involved and the vast number of process parameters at play. In addition to his research at Linköping University, he holds a position as research implementation leader at Saab Aeronautics.
