Educational objectives

Train engineers specializing in Mechanical Engineering - Advanced Manufacturing Processes who are capable of addressing the challenges of competitiveness and innovation in the Factory of the Future:

• To adapt the definition of a product according to subtractive and/or additive manufacturing processes,
• Specify requirements, select and implement the material/process combination based on technical requirements, quality, costs, and deadlines.

The holder of this engineering degree is a specialist in processes involving the removal and addition of material ("3D printing"). As a designer of the associated processes, they are involved throughout the entire production chain (definition, industrialization, manufacturing, assembly, and inspection) of the mechanical components and systems that make up industrial products. The program covers both the skills required for "traditional" manufacturing through material removal and the new skills required for additive manufacturing.
