Course summary
Additive Manufacturing, or 3D printing, is an exciting new field using diverse technologies for equally diverse applications. It’s now possible to print everything from aerospace parts to biological tissue and even houses. Our 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. It’s 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 we’ll use modern CAD tools including topological optimisation to design parts for AM. Why study with us
- Located within one of the most intense engineering and manufacturing areas in the UK, our £35m Engineering Innovation Centre provides an integrated space for teaching, research and work on live, real-world projects with commercial partners.
- Access world-class facilities in additive manufacturing, materials testing, tribology and computer-aided engineering, including the University’s Additive Manufacturing and Materials Testing labs, engineering and CNC workshops, a metals and 3D workshop, and a rapid prototyping suite.
- Learning will be largely project-based, with hands-on use of equipment and software. The course will include relevant industry visits, guest speakers and industry-related projects.
