Oak Ridge National Laboratory
Dr. Adam G. Stevens is a staff researcher in the Disruptive Manufacturing Systems Development Group within the Manufacturing Science Division, located at the Manufacturing Demonstration Facility at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. His current research focus is on metal additive manufacturing (AM) systems for infrastructure-scale (1,000+ kg) components; low-cost methods for metal AM; and technoeconomic analyses of direct energy deposition (DED) AM processes.
He is the Principal Investigator on a multi-year multi-partner collaborative program to develop DED AM systems for manufacturing 1,000-30,000+ kg energy-generation components.
Adam received his bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor in 2013; completed his master’s in Mechanical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2015; and completed his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2021. His dissertation focused on machine design, control, and process scaling laws for high-throughput benchtop fused filament fabrication systems.
His wider research interests include scaling laws for manufacturing processes, systems co-design, technology transfer to industry, robotics and controls, and functional materials.
