Additive Manufacturing, or 3D printing, is an exciting new field using diverse technologies for equally diverse applications. Its now possible to print everything from aerospace parts to biological tissue and even houses. The MSc in Additive Manufacturing gives you the skills to use these new technologies to their full potential. This is an advanced course with an emphasis on the design, analysis and implementation of Additive Manufacturing (AM) projects. The course is suitable for engineers who have recently graduated as well as those with experience. Its an opportunity to extend your knowledge in Additive Manufacturing or update your qualifications with a view to promotion or a specialist role. It will equip you with the engineering knowledge and practical skills necessary to develop AM strategies for real-world problems. We will use modern scanning equipment and mesh editing software to reverse engineer parts, and well use modern CAD tools including topological optimisation to design parts for AM. Access world-class facilities in additive manufacturing, materials testing, tribology and computer-aided engineering, including the Universitys Additive Manufacturing and Materials Testing labs, engineering and CNC workshops, a metals and 3D workshop, and a rapid prototyping suite.
