Additive Manufacturing

Overview This Master's program provides a focused education in additive manufacturing (AM), combining materials science, process technology and design for both plastics and metals. You will study the fundamentals of AM and modern manufacturing technologies alongside specialized topics such as powder technology and 3D metal printing. The curriculum also covers materials science for plastics and metals so you understand how material behavior influences manufacturing and final part performance.

What you will learn The program balances theoretical foundations with application-oriented skills: structure optimisation and design rules teach you how to create parts that take full advantage of AM, while product-creation modules and standard software application development train you to move concepts into producible components. Hands-on process and material topics—like powder handling, metal printing methods and plastics technologies—prepare you to work across the full value chain from material selection to final printing and post-processing. Graduates are therefore prepared for roles in R&D, product development, process engineering and related fields in industry and research.

Recommended background / typical expectations

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, materials science, manufacturing engineering or a closely related discipline (strongly recommended)
• Basic understanding of materials behavior and manufacturing processes
• Familiarity with CAD, engineering design principles or related software tools is advantageous
• Proficiency in English (program language: English)

I can rewrite the curriculum summary, but I don’t have web browsing access to fetch the details from the link you provided. Please paste the original curriculum text (or the key modules and learning outcomes) here.

If you prefer, I can also create a concise, accurate rewrite based on a typical MSc in Additive Manufacturing / Mechanical Engineering in Germany — say, including core modules (materials, process technology, design for AM, quality & metrology), project/thesis structure, learning outcomes, and typical credit/semester structure — but I’ll need your confirmation to proceed with a generalized version rather than the exact program content.

What I need from you (one of these):

• Paste the original curriculum/module list and learning outcomes you want rewritten, OR
• Tell me to proceed with a generic, typical curriculum summary for an Additive Manufacturing MSc.

When you reply I’ll produce:

• 2–4 concise paragraphs rewriting the curriculum summary in clear, engaging English
• A short bullet list of key requirements/credits (if you provide them) or a note indicating typical requirements if you request a generic summary

Graduates are prepared for technical and development roles in sectors that apply additive manufacturing, such as automotive, aerospace, medical technology, tooling and consumer products. Typical positions include AM process engineer, materials engineer, design engineer for 3D printing, application specialist and project manager for additive manufacturing projects.

The programme also lays a solid foundation for further research or doctoral studies in materials science, manufacturing technology or design optimisation, and equips international graduates with practical experience and software skills valued by industry employers in Germany and abroad.
