ABOUT PETER DACKUS
Chartered Mechanical Engineer specialising in metal additive manufacturing, with a focus on improving productivity, reliability, and part quality in Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) systems.My work centres on diagnosing and solving complex challenges, with a focus on the optical and laser system — turning theoretical understanding into practical, production-ready solutions. I bring a strong engineering foundation, with an MEng from Imperial College London, combined with hands-on production and manufacturing experience.I’m known as a proactive engineer who communicates clearly across disciplines and collaborates effectively within wider teams — bridging design, manufacturing, and systems engineering to deliver robust outcomes. I’m always keen to take on technically challenging problems and contribute to advancing metal additive manufacturing toward reliable industrial production.If you’re working on LPBF systems or metal additive manufacturing challenges and would like to exchange ideas, feel free to get in touch.
