Basics of additive technologies

The course aims to acquaint students with the production of prototypes by additive technologies (3D printing) on practical demonstrations through professional industrial 3D printers FDM, FDM + CFF, SLA, SLS, and SLM about modern trends in topological optimization, design of bionic structures, and lattice structures.
Students will get acquainted with the production of prototypes of liquid resin (liquid polymers), solid material in the form of a string (polymer and composite filament), and powder materials (metal and polymer powders).
The mentioned information, experience, and infrastructure can be further used by students for the creation of diploma theses in master's studies or dissertations in doctoral studies.
