Advanced Manufacturing Technologies (520H3)

15 credits, Level 7 (Masters)

Autumn teaching

This module focuses on advanced manufacturing technologies for advanced materials.

The initial focus will be on:

concurrent engineering and the software environment that supports it
CAD/CAM/CAE
computer-integrated manufacture and industrial informatics
rapid prototyping and time compression technologies
rapid tooling
stereolithography, selective laser sintering, direct metal laser sintering (DMLS)
laminated object manufacture
3D printing
laser manufacturing technology
laser micro-machining technology
composites
casting
turbomachinery manufacturing technologies
aerospace and automotive manufacturing technologies.

We regularly review our modules to incorporate student feedback, staff expertise, as well as the latest research and teaching methodology. We’re planning to run these modules in the academic year 2026/27. However, there may be changes to these modules in response to feedback, staff availability, student demand or updates to our curriculum.

We’ll make sure to let you know of any material changes to modules at the earliest opportunity.
