Course description

Additive Manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, is growing at a rapid rate, with global manufacturers increasingly realising the benefits of producing parts by AM. According to recent studies, the AM market has observed significant growth, with a projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.2% and a valuation of USD 13.89 billion in 2021. It is expected to reach $76.2 billion by 2030, representing a 20.9% CAGR (2022-2030). The AM industry's significant growth trajectory indicates a promising future, driven by its increasing adoption as a mainstream manufacturing process, which offers attractive advantages, including reduced production time and costs, and the ability to create complex designs with superior functionality. An example is newly optimised 3D printed metal aircraft brackets that are 50% lighter, use 90% less material and 90% less energy to produce compared to the equivalent bracket currently produced by machining. Given that AM will continue to grow, future engineers must adapt to this revolutionary manufacturing process, so now is a timely opportunity to introduce a dedicated course that prepares our graduates to work with this technology.
