STARTING WITH THE "ENGINEERING AND PRODUCING WITH ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING 3D PRINTING" UNIVERSITY DIPLOMAUniversity diploma
Additive manufacturing has developed in many companies in many industrial sectors such as aeronautics and health, due to its interest in innovating products and processes.
However, companies are currently seeking executives or specialists capable of controlling the whole additive manufacturing value chain (meaning materials to applications, controlling chemical risks, design and the logistics supply chain).
These specialists must be able to address problems beforehand (with the material) and after (with the product) through the value chain, and even to anticipate wherever possible. These employees must have a global overview of all the steps and not solely regarding the machine as is the case today.
WHAT IS AN EXPERT IN THE ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING CHAIN - 3D PRINTING?
It is a specialist with a transversal approach, from the raw material to the finished product that companies are looking for. They bring the company the expertise needed in material qualification (raw material and analyses of products’ use properties), in industrial engineering for the safety, quality and regulatory aspects of additive manufacturing.
Additive manufacturing is defined in the standard NF EN ISO/ASTM 52900 as : "A process of assembling materials to manufacture parts from 3D model data, usually layer by layer, unlike subtractive and shaped manufacturing methods.”
OBJECTIVES
Toulouse INP-ENSIACET has such a transversal approach, from the raw material to the finished product, which is what companies are looking for.
The university diploma in Engineering and producing with additive manufacturing - 3D printing offered at our graduate engineering school must bring expertise into the sector needed in:
- Material qualification (raw material and analyses of products’ use properties),
- Industrial engineering,
- Aspects regarding safety/quality,
- Regulatory aspects of additive manufacturing.
This new curriculum caters for new emerging professions. It is intended for employees or jobseekers wishing to gain skills, willing to try something new, capable of adapting to a new field of work: being proficient in concepts associated with additive manufacturing/3D printing.
This curriculum enables the students to develop further use of additive manufacturing with a global vision over the manufacturing line, be it as the workshop or design office coordinator.
It also provides the opportunity to train specialists in additive manufacturing engineering with an integrated approach, capable of:
- Managing the additive manufacturing chain and solution-finding (set-up, control and handling),
- Developing strategies for building parts, seeking the best machine parameters according to type of materials,
- Monitoring technology, setting up research and tests, defining the necessary tools, simulating, testing and analyzing the results.
