Dipl.-Ing. Christoph Strasser is a researcher and project manager at the Transfercenter für Kunststofftechnik in Wels, Upper Austria. After completing his apprenticeship as a “Production Technician”, he studied “Lightweight Design and Composite Materials” at University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria, Campus Wels, in both his Bachelor’s and Master’s degree programmes. His master thesis, which was completed in 2022 at the Transfercenter für Kunststofftechnik, dealt with the development of an extrusion unit for continuous fibre reinforcement in FFF 3D printing. The influence of fibre content on the mechanical properties as well as the characterisation of different material types and layer positions were discussed.
