The “Functional Materials and Additive Manufacturing” master’s degree is a multidisciplinary training course aimed at training students in both theoretical and applied approaches in the field of 3D printing. Through this master's degree, the student will gradually become familiar with the design of parts, the properties of materials, the choice of additive manufacturing technique, post-manufacturing processes as well as methods for characterizing manufactured parts.

This multidisciplinary program will allow the student to specialize in one of the following two sectors: applications in the field of medicine and the aeronautics and automobile industry.

Through this training, all registered students will acquire, from the first semester, a solid foundation in the field of materials. This training on polymer, metallic and ceramic materials covers aspects of preparation, characterization and implementation. The impact of the manufacturing process on the properties of the parts produced remains an important aspect covered during the training.

A project approach is used in particular so that the student can, based on specifications that will be provided to him, design and produce parts that meet the needs expressed. These specifications may be established by UEMF teaching staff or by manufacturers wishing to assess the potential of additive manufacturing.

At the end of this training in the field of additive manufacturing for the aeronautics, automotive and biomedical engineering sectors, the student will be able to carry out the following tasks:

• evaluate the relevance of additive manufacturing compared to traditional manufacturing processes;
• translate the geometry of a part into additive manufacturing and/or machining operations;
• choose a manufacturing process for a given part according to quantifiable criteria;
• choose the optimal operating conditions (machines, forces, tools, etc.);
• perceive the contribution of IT tools for manufacturing;
• pose the hypotheses for the digital modeling of manufacturing;
• communicate needs to technicians in a manufacturing workshop.

In addition, the use of “application” oriented courses allows students to more quickly acquire the skills required to master 3D manufacturing techniques.
