Prof. Dr.-Ing. Florian Eibl (*1988) has been Professor of Manufacturing Technology at the University of Duisburg-Essen since December 2025. His research focuses on the process physics and systems engineering of Additive Manufacturing, with particular emphasis on the processing of metallic materials using Laser Powder Bed Fusion of Metals (PBF-LB/M).

Florian Eibl studied Mechanical and Process Engineering at Technical University of Darmstadt and subsequently completed his doctorate at the Chair for Laser Technology at RWTH Aachen University in the field of laser-based metal processing. In parallel, he worked at the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT, where he most recently led the team responsible for machine and component development in Additive Manufacturing.

In 2018, he joined the machine manufacturer Aconity3D GmbH. He initially headed research and development and subsequently became a member of the management team, with responsibility for the technical division and, from 2025 onward, the commercial division. During this time, he played a key role in advancing the development of highly flexible manufacturing systems, novel scanning and optical concepts, and intelligent monitoring systems.

His research at the University of Duisburg-Essen encompasses laser–material interaction, adaptive processing, data- and model-based process monitoring, as well as the investigation and design of additive manufacturing process chains. His work aims to advance manufacturing processes in such a way that the inherent potential of modern materials can be fully realized in the finished component. In doing so, he combines fundamental questions in manufacturing and materials engineering with the development of novel machine concepts and digital methods.
