Medium bio

Long bio

Manish Sharma is Head of AI & R&D at Exafuse. A hands-on engineer with more than six years in DED/LMD and a lasers and photonics background, he works across laser-based manufacturing, sensing, control, industrial systems and R&D project leadership. Managed five employees with hiring responsibility; led Exafuse's contribution to BreitbahnDED, including technical coordination, milestones, costs and reporting. Monitoring and control deployed across three machines at two sites. Camera-based height sensing developed from concept to tested prototype, with practical optics, illumination and calibration. Built in-house MES/ERP with Print-ID traceability and operator procedures, used by every operator. Duisburg bridge components, 2024: led process monitoring and control work that enabled unattended builds and coordinated delivery scheduling within his scope. Testing was outside his role. External PhD researcher at Ruhr University Bochum, Applied Laser Technology. PhD in progress, expected 2027.
