Study objectives
Master’s Programme in Manufacturing study track Additive Manufacturing for Full Flexibility (AM) is a combination of studying manufacturing science including physics of additive manufacturing processes, mechanical design including exploiting the design freedoms enabled for more customized products and services, and production management including the flexibility enabled for smaller lot production. During the programme students will gain new skills in these areas. In manufacturing science, relevant fields include molten material physics, heat transfer, and deformation.
In design engineering, relevant fields are numerical and topological optimization, process physics simulation, new concept generation and design engineering.
In production management, relevant fields include logistics, digitalization and quality.
The student would learn the latest theoretical knowledge and know how to apply their skills in practical real-life problems.
A student who graduates from the Additive Manufacturing for Full Flexibility (AM) shall:
- have broad knowledge of theories and concepts in urban planning, transport and sustainability, and its disciplinary foundations, proven experience in working with methodological knowledge in the area of manufacturing challenges, and a considerable degree of specialised knowledge of multidisciplinary decision support systems for manufacturing.
- be able to critically, independently and creatively participate in strategic work to meet manufacturing-related problems and to be able to relate these measures to sustainable social development,
- be able to implement the gained engineering expertise in AM to create new or improved methods, techniques, products, and services in the field;
- be able to think beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries to find innovative solutions to real-world problems and to come up with new ideas;
- be able to draw up plans and to make decisions foreseeing future consequences from a scientific, ethical, and societal perspective;
- be able to turn innovations in the area into feasible and successful business solutions;
- be able to profitably work in small size teams and contexts by taking into account all relevant elements and showing effective decision-making and leadership abilities.
