As a young research engineer in Metal Additive Manufacturing at Naval Group, I’m doing a CIFRE PhD in collaboration with Naval Group Angoulême-Ruelle and the Pprime Institut in Poitiers. With a master’s degree in materials engineering, specialised in durability, from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Ingénieurs en Arts Chimiques et Technologiques of Toulouse (ENSIACET), I began my career in the field of metal additive manufacturing processes as an assistant engineer trainee at Airbus Helicopters (Marignane, France). I got more experience at Naval Group Lorient, where I held the position of Metallic Additive Manufacturing Engineer during a professional contract in my last year. During my assignments, I studied WAAM-CMT® and PBF-LB/M technologies. Today, my research focuses on identifying, characterising and measuring the effects of reusing Inconel® 625 powder in additive manufacturing using laser fusion of a powder bed for the manufacture of naval equipment.
