Description:

Additive Manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, is revolutionising industrial production. It allows precise manufacturing of stronger parts with reduced waste and energy consumption. AM technology has redefined how everything from medical devices to aerospace structures are designed, manufactured, certified and brought to market. Your programme in this green technology is the first master-level programme in the world focusing on both materials science and engineering as well as AM. Fully English-taught and designed in partnership with industry, you’ll have access to advanced researchers and innovative labs. In the second year, you’ll complete an industry placement in Europe, Asia or South America, followed by your master’s thesis.

SHAPING THE FUTURE

We are witnessing the fourth industrial revolution – Industry 4.0. Additive manufacturing, the Internet of Things and big data are at the centre of this changing landscape. Mechanical engineers in research and industry are using additive manufacturing to help us find innovative solutions in production technology, digitalisation, environmental technology, climate technology, life sciences, etc.

Unlike conventional manufacturing technologies, AM reduces waste and energy consumption. This green technology enables precise on-demand parts manufacturing and repair, accelerates the development of new and better parts and enhances product durability.

To master metal additive manufacturing, you will need advanced engineering skills as well as competence in several additional fields. In this programme, you will develop a strong foundation in mechanical engineering, materials science, and additive manufacturing technology.

Then, you’ll build expertise in design, materials, processes, applications and part qualification for metal additive manufacturing.

Specialised knowledge

  1. How to apply foundational knowledge, critical thinking, problem solving and creativity in the use of AM across multiple industries
  2. How to operate as a competent AM engineer while maintaining high ethical standards in applying AM to industry-relevant problems
  3. How to identify the barriers to industry adoption faced by AM technologies
  4. How to articulate the value proposition for AM in a given industry
  5. How to increase sustainability of AM process in terms of economy, society and environment
  6. How new materials (powder and wire) are designed and developed for AM
  7. How materials characterisation are affected during AM
  8. How to select an appropriate AM process for a given application
  9. How to effectively control and monitor the AM processes
  10. How to impact productivity and cost in AM during design and judicious choice of production processes
