Denis Cormier
Professor
Rochester Institute of Tech.


Denis Cormier, RIT’s Earl W. Brinkman Professor and an international expert on 3D printing and additive manufacturing, is the director of the AMPrint Center. Dr. Cormier has secured more than $15M in sponsored research funding over his career to date. He has been highly active in the additive manufacturing community for nearly 20 years. Dr. Cormier was a pioneer in the development of structured metal lattices. Prior to joining RIT, he founded NC State University’s highly regarded Rapid Prototyping Lab in 1996. In 2003, he and Ola Harrysson purchased the first Arcam Electron Beam Melting (EBM) machine ever installed in North America. From 2003-2009, Cormier’s metal additive manufacturing research focused on aerospace applications and materials. Much of his funded aerospace research involved developing EBM process parameters for aerospace materials of interest including titanium alloys (Ti-6Al-4V, TiAl3), aluminum alloys (6061 Al, 7075 Al), copper alloys (CP copper, GR-Cop84), Inconel, and other alloys.
