MSC is supporting Deakin University with its additive manufacturing courses for undergraduate and postgraduate degrees. It will assist with expert knowledge, and access to leading industrial software used by companies such as BAE Systems and Danfoss to industrialise emerging additive manufacturing techniques. The global additive manufacturing market is expected to reach $125bn by 2025, and the collaboration between Deakin and MSC will build a regional hub of skills for graduates to take into this fast-growing market. The new course will advance students’ understanding of increasingly industrialised metal 3D printing techniques and also cutting-edge polymer-based additive manufacturing processes. The Additive Manufacturing Processes and Applications course will be conducted online due to COVID-19. To support the theoretical course work in virtual printing, students will also get experience using industry-leading software for generative design (MSC Apex Generative Design), metal additive manufacturing (Simufact Additive) and polymer or composite 3D printing (Digimat AM). These products will give students a wide range of skills, including design for additive manufacturing, predicting and mitigating quality issues, and predicting the final part performance…
