Additive manufacturing has the potential to completely transform the manufacture of materials, which means that many companies of different sizes and verticals are considering introducing 3D printing as a complement to their current manufacturing technologies.
Over the last decade, we have seen the emergence of new 3D printing processes, new materials with enhanced performance levels, higher quality components, smaller machines, and optimised and cheaper production processes. This has all shifted the traditional manufacturing market towards additive manufacturing. Furthermore, companies are increasingly aware that the correct implementation of additive manufacturing can significantly reduce material waste, the number of steps in the production process, the quality of stock and the number of parts in an item.
This change requires companies and their teams to have knowledge and a clear strategy for success in implementing additive manufacturing. However, as in many disruptive technologies, the sector has grown at a much faster rate than the pace of learning by professionals.
The master's degree in additive manufacturingis a response to this need of the sector. The goal is to train professionals in these new technologies so that they acquire the methods and skills required to become highly skilled workers. This will help companies to adopt additive manufacturing, redefine the current production paradigm, and disrupt the market with innovative products and business models.
The master's degree combines theoretical and practical classes based on learning by doing. Students will also work side by side with experts from various companies in the sector such as HP, to solve real and current challenges set by companies in different sectors.
The objectives of the master's degree are defined through:
Aimed at manufacturing, design and/or engineering professionals across industries interested in learning the skills needed to work with AM.
Specially aimed for professionals using AM in an engineering environment, or willing to use it in their organizations.
A basic 3D modeling knowledge is required, as well as knowledge on material properties and simulation.
The Master's degree programme aims to be connected with current industry AM challenges. For this reason, in this module students will work in teams to solve a challenge proposed by a company in order to propose a solution, plan the manufacturing process and develop the business model.
The aim is to simulate a professional environment where all knowledge, skills and abilities learned into the Master's degree will be implemented.
