Additive Manufacturing

Study concept

The key technology of additive manufacturing combines numerous innovative processes that make it possible to manufacture complex, sophisticatedly designed products directly on the basis of computer data. Often referred to as "3D printing", these technologies work layer by layer and require neither moulds nor specific tools. They are very resource-efficient because they only use material where it is needed in the end product. In particular, they offer more freedom for product design, making completely new designs and constructions possible. In addition to technical applications, they are therefore also very popular in the fields of art, design and architecture.

The degree programme combines all aspects of additive manufacturing. Our students learn about the various additive manufacturing processes in detail, their selection and technology depending on the material, component size and product requirements. The degree programme offers a wide range of career opportunities along the entire development chain, from raw materials and product design to the manufacturing process or overarching tasks.

The Master's degree programme builds seamlessly on the scientific, mathematical and technical foundations taught on the Bachelor's degree programme. There is further scientific specialisation so that graduates can adapt the additive manufacturing process chain in its entirety to the latest scientific findings and develop it independently. During their studies, our students benefit from the modern equipment in our laboratories and facilities as well as from the individual support provided by lecturers and professors.
