Andy Gleadall is a Senior Lecturer in Additive Manufacturing at Loughborough University. Since joining Loughborough University in 2017, his research has focused on material extrusion additive manufacturing in several areas, all enabled by microscale control of the print path.

He developed and wrote open-source piece of software called, FullControl GCode Designer, to allow precise design for additive manufacturing - www.fullcontrolgcode.com. FullControl was originally created for in-house research activities but is now freely available to progress research into material extrusion additive manufacturing. It’s been used for a wide range of applications including process calibration, material characterization, tissue engineering, 3D printed electronics, pharmaceuticals, microfluidics, prosthetics, artistic creation, and to control auxiliary equipment for in-process monitoring.

He strives to use rigorous engineering research to drive additive manufacturing and medical manufacturing beyond the current state-of-the-art.
