Introduction

This master offers students multidisciplinary training in the field of mechanical engineering, including in particular:

  • mechanical design, integrating the choice of materials according to their impact on the environment
  • general knowledge on bio-based materials
  • development and elaboration of new biopolymers and biocomposites intended for 3D printing
  • management of the life cycle of a part, a product or a structure, including the planning and optimization of maintenance.

Take advantage of specialized training, design and print your own biocomposites in the FabLab, and test the parts in the materials testing lab! And if you need any help, for your study program or in your everyday life, just ask your SIGMA buddy!
