Postgraduate certificate Additive Manufacturing

Additive Manufacturing has established itself as a key tool in the optimization of production processes, especially in industries that require high customization and speed in product development. Its implementation allows for shorter creation cycles, reduced storage and production costs, and immediate solutions in dynamic environments. However, its successful integration depends on in-depth knowledge of its technologies, materials, and printing parameters. Engineers therefore need advanced technical expertise to select the most appropriate technologies for each application. With this in mind, TECH is launching an innovative university program focused on Additive Manufacturing. In addition, it is based on a flexible 100% online modality.

Introduction to the Program

Through this completely online program, you will master Additive Manufacturing processes and design innovative solutions in industrial environments”

Within the framework of Industry 4.0, Additive Manufacturing represents one of the most ground-breaking and innovative technologies. Its ability to produce complex geometries, customized functional parts, and components in remote locations is redefining the supply chain and the traditional concept of industrial design. As new materials emerge, printing speeds improve, and systems become more automated, the potential of this technology expands significantly. That is why more and more companies are demanding the incorporation of experts in 3D Printing. To take advantage of these opportunities, professionals need to gain a competitive edge that sets them apart from other candidates.

For this reason, TECH is introducing a revolutionary program in Additive Manufacturing. The academic syllabus will delve into aspects ranging from the recent evolution of 3D Printing technologies and their impact on industrial digitization to the use of specialized software such as CAD. It will also compare additive and subtractive processes, including costs, times, and sustainability. Graduates will therefore gain the skills to implement innovative solutions, optimize customized production, and adapt to emerging trends in automation and new materials in the 3D Printing industry.

The program's methodology is based on the Relearning teaching system, pioneered by TECH. This consists of the reiteration of the key contents of the syllabus, in order to promote natural learning and progress. In addition, since it is 100% online, engineers will have greater flexibility and will be able to expand their knowledge from anywhere. All that is required is that they have an electronic device capable of accessing the Internet, using their own cell phone. They will also have permanent access to multimedia resources that will help them understand the topics more clearly. In addition, they will analyze case studies that simulate real situations, improving their ability to solve problems and increasing their competencies in real environments.
