Professional experience
Manufacturing leadership, research and collaboration
Manish Sharma is Head of AI & R&D at Exafuse. He leads additive-manufacturing projects across process development, sensing, software, quality checks and delivery.
Integrated LMD control system
Built an integrated LMD control system spanning modelling, simulation, path planning, camera and sensor monitoring, software, data processing and live control. This work forms part of his doctoral thesis.
Inside the LMD control systemBreitbahnDED
Company-side project leadership and proposal development, connecting manufacturing requirements with university research.

Documented examples
Company-owned cases used as source-bound industrial context
Each story keeps the industrial problem, public source and scope together. The Duisburg page also includes my personal account of monitoring, control and timeline responsibility. Company project results remain attributed to Exafuse.
Exafuse public case
Duisburg Bridge Components: large-part LMD from CAD adaptation to evidence planning
Large structural metal components for a pedestrian bridge in Duisburg.
750+ kg · Documented components6 nodes · Structural nodes219 h · Knoten 10 build
For large LMD, manufacturability, toolpaths, monitoring, finishing, and verification must be planned as one decision system.
Useful decision pattern
Large-scale LMD requires evidence planning, monitoring context, and an inspection boundary.
It is not a blanket approval for another bridge or safety-critical component.
Exafuse public case
Nobufil Extrusion Screw Repair: make the damage boundary visible before rebuilding
A high-value extrusion screw in a production environment with no immediate replacement available.
Repair evidence starts by defining what must be removed, rebuilt, finished, and inspected—not by covering a visible defect.
Useful decision pattern
Repair/RFQ quality depends on complete facts, downtime context, and service context.
It does not establish certified performance, exact tolerance, or service-life extension.
Exafuse public case
Valve-Seat Ring Cladding: turn visible inspection into a bounded evidence step
Anonymous valve-seat and wear-ring geometries with wear-critical functional surfaces.
A visible inspection result is useful evidence only when it is attached to geometry, material, heat, finishing, and acceptance context.
Useful decision pattern
Surface function needs material, heat, finishing, inspection, and acceptance context.
It does not guarantee crack-free performance for another material, substrate, or ring geometry.
Exafuse public case
130 mm Drill Build-and-Coat: plan geometry and surface function together
A public 130 mm drill demonstrator in the Exafuse build-and-coat context.
130 mm · Drill demonstrator
Geometry, surface function, material compatibility, finishing, and verification should be prepared as one route.
Useful decision pattern
Build-and-coat routes need geometry, surface function, material, finishing, and validation.
It does not certify performance for another drilling application.
Public framework
Public frameworks
LMD Quality Evidence Ladder Separate process awareness, AI flags, inspection evidence, and field performance so each claim uses the right proof. Open LMD Repairability Index Score material, damage, access, machining, inspection, economics, and criticality before calling a repair promising. Open LMD-AI Readiness Score Check whether an LMD workflow has the data foundations needed for useful AI-assisted monitoring. Open LMD RFQ Toolkit Provide schemas, prompts, decision rules, and checklists for safer RFQ preparation. Open LMD Failure Atlas Map failure modes, process signals, AI visibility, and validation evidence in one vocabulary. Open LMD-AI Maturity Model Define maturity stages for LMD data capture, analytics, decision support, and closed-loop development. Open
