He holds a Ph.D. in Fundamental Mechanics and has authored 16 scientific publications and 5 patents. Fedor is a former research fellow in the Institute of Mechanics at Moscow State University, and former Research Scientist for the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology. He is both a scientist by heart but also a visionary thinker and passionate about the future of manufacturing. Fedor brings over a decade of academic and industrial experience in design and optimization of composites. Anisoprint – Company description Anisoprint is a deep tech startup and the only 3D printing OEM based in Luxembourg today. We’ve developed 3D printers, materials (carbon, basalt) and software for manufacturing anisoprinted composite parts: stronger, lighter and cheaper than metal or non-optimized composites. Our patented Continuous Fiber Coextrusion (CFC) technology is used in aerospace, engineering, mobility, and many other areas to produce functional parts while cutting costs and increasing productivity. Anisoprinted parts are incredibly strong can actually replace metal parts in some applications. Anisoprinting is already applied at BMW, Schunk Carbon Technology, Airbus, Brightlands Materials Center, Technical University of Munich, Bauhaus, Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology, etc. Future of Mobility: The Future of Mobility podcast is focused on the development and implementation of safe, sustainable, effective, and accessible mobility solutions, with a spotlight on the people and technology advancing these fields. linkedin.com/in/brandonbartneck/ brandonbartneck.com/futureofmobility/ Edison Manufacturing: At Edison Manufacturing, our specialty is building and assembling highly complex mobility products in annual quantities of ten to tens of thousands utilizing an agile, robust, and capital-light approach.
