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.

The MSc in Additive Manufacturing gives students 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 knowledge in Additive Manufacturing or update qualifications with a view to promotion or a specialist role.

It will equip students with the engineering knowledge and practical skills necessary to develop AM strategies for real-world problems. This program will use modern scanning equipment and mesh editing software to reverse engineer parts, and it will use modern CAD tools including topological optimisation to design parts for AM.
