Introduction to the Program
With this completely online program, you will design parts adapted to the principles of 3D printing and optimize the manufacturing of functional components”

According to a new report by the International Monetary Fund, additive manufacturing has experienced sustained growth in recent years, with a global market exceeding $18 billion. This advance has been driven by the ability of this tool to reduce product development times by up to 70% and decrease material waste by 90% compared to traditional methods. However, the performance and industrial viability of 3D printing depend directly on the elements involved in the process. For this reason, experts need to acquire a comprehensive understanding of aspects such as printing parameters to ensure their optimal application at an industrial level with efficiency.
To facilitate this task, TECH has created a pioneering program in Key Elements in Additive Manufacturing. Designed by leaders in the field, the academic syllabus will delve into the classification and selection of materials for 3D printing. In turn, the syllabus will offer students the latest post-processing techniques to improve the mechanical, aesthetic, and functional properties of the manufactured parts. In line with this, the teaching materials will delve into the use of automated systems for ultrasonic cleaning to remove residues. Graduates will therefore acquire advanced skills to supervise complete Additive Manufacturing processes, from material preparation to the final finishing of parts.
In terms of the university program's methodology, it will feature an online learning system that will allow engineers to continue developing their work without interruption, as this program will not subject them to rigid schedules or inconvenient travel. They will also have access to a prestigious teaching staff, who will share their knowledge using the latest multimedia resources (including interactive summaries and explanatory videos).
