The Master’s in 3D Printing is a high-level specialization for professionals in engineering, design, architecture, medicine, the automotive industry, or fashion who seek to integrate this technology into their work processes. You will explore the cutting edge of additive manufacturing, going beyond the fundamentals to master its most complex applications in the field of industrial 3D printing. You’ll delve into advanced printer architecture and the most innovative 3D printing technologies—from FDM to resin printing—while exploring a range of technical materials that are shaping the future of manufacturing. You’ll delve into the design and modeling of 3D elements using industry-standard tools such as Autodesk Fusion 360 and Inventor, and you’ll hone your skills in 3D scanning, mesh editing, and mesh repair. Process optimization is key. You’ll learn to configure advanced slicers such as Ultimaker Cura and PrusaSlicer, and you’ll master post-printing techniques for precision finishes, ensuring the quality and functionality of the parts. This program prepares you to integrate additive manufacturing into complex industrial strategies, driving innovation and solving technical challenges across various sectors. You’ll develop a strategic vision that will enable you to implement disruptive solutions and optimize value chains, transforming the design and production of components.
