Stephen Clarence Veldhuis
Professor, Mechanical Engineering

Dr. Veldhuis is a Professor in the Mechanical Engineering Department at McMaster University and Director of the McMaster Manufacturing Research Institute (MMRI). His research interests are in advanced manufacturing including additive manufacturing, machining and ultra-precision machining. His current research interests are in the area of tooling development for high performance manufacturing followed by the tuning of manufacturing process parameters to improve productivity and quality and enhance process robustness all while reducing cost. This research is focused on developing a framework to convert novel product ideas and research results into functional prototypes and ultimately innovative products which can be competitively manufactured in Canada.
