MSc, PgDip, PgCert Metal Additive Manufacturing

... United Kingdom
... Cranfield University

Course Overview

Cranfield University has over 20 years of experience in large-scale AM of metallic structures on all fronts, i.e., process design; incorporation of ancillary processes (cold work, metrology, inspection); development of specialist hardware and CAM software; qualification of material properties and definition of design and manufacturing rules. 

Our ever-growing materials portfolio features alloys such as titanium, aluminum, iron, nickel, and copper-based systems and exotic elements such as tungsten, molybdenum, and tantalum.

Access is given to several state-of-the-art AM facilities, including Wire + Arc AM systems (based on robotic arms), CNC gantries, laser-wire AM systems, and powder-based systems.

Did you know we have one of the most giant metal 3D printers ever made? 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing (AM), enables the production of metal parts at significantly reduced time and cost compared to existing methods. 

You will join a teaching and research team of approximately 30 people and have the chance to work on projects within the WAAMMat consortium. This includes 20 industry partners (including Airbus, BAE SYSTEMS, Lockheed Martin, etc).

General Eligibility

Candidates must possess, or be expected to achieve, a first or second-class UK Honours degree or equivalent in a relevant science, engineering, or related discipline. Other relevant qualifications, together with significant experience, may be considered. 

Applicants who do not fulfill the standard entry requirements can apply for the Pre-master's course, successful completion of which will qualify them for entry to this course for a second year of study.

Part Time Work Details

20 hours of work permit weekly for international students.
