Additive Manufacturing Designer at Sartorius

My time at the University of Nottingham provided me with both the skills and confidence to go on to work as an Additive Manufacturing Designer at Sartorius, an international biotechnology company. My role at the company is to support the creation and adoption of Additively Manufactured parts for small batch production, prototyping and eventually mass production.

Why did you choose to study Additive Manufacturing and 3D Printing?

As a taught course, the modules covered a wide range of topics and provide a full coverage of the Additive Manufacturing technology, whilst still leaving space for students to research and develop skills in their areas of interest. This meant that I could specialise my Individual Postgraduate Project on the production of Damascus Steel, using Multi-material Metal Additive Manufacturing.  

What attracted you to study at the University of Nottingham?

As an undergraduate student I was always fascinated with the amazing possibilities presented by Additive Manufacturing and its unique ability to rapidly produce complex 3D models. I heard about the Nottingham Advanced Manufacturing Masters course as an undergraduate student at Loughborough University and was immediately interested because of the university’s reputation and the speciality of the course. 

What were your lecturers and fellow students like?

As a university with global connections, the course gave me a great opportunity to work with international students from different backgrounds and cultures. The lecturers at the University create a fun working environment and support you in your work whilst still encouraging you to push yourself.

The lecturers go above and beyond to make sure that all students are accommodated and supported.
