Summary
The students in the design methods and processing 3D data that can serve as a basis for reverse engineering or design and one of the steps in the production process. The 3D modelling and additive subject to students with a comprehensive view of the design and construction of prototype equipment. In the students learn skills related to the electrical and machinery complex multidisciplinary tasks. Studentům real difficulty will be demonstrated examples of tasks and problems and to implement. In particular, students learn to define the conditions and requirements for the example to be able to model and implement the 3D components. Osvojí also knowledge and skills for ideové 3D scanning procedures. The students meet the processing of scanned data in order to design the future. After the general meeting with the students learn in 3D
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Objective of the course in terms of learning outcomes and competences The aim of the course is to familiarize the students with the possibilities of spatial scanning, 3D modeling and rapid prototyping technologies in industrial design. The objectives are achieved both by teaching software tools and by using the optical scanning technologies of spatial objects and prototype printing of real parts, as well as experience in the implementation of more complicated projects.
