Summary
The essence of the course is to Introduce students with the basics of modeling and the preparation of models designed for 3D printing. In this course they learn the latest news in additive manufacturing, its principles and advantages. Part of the course will be dedicated to demonstrations and realization of plastic prototyping on 3D printers.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the production of prototypes and models additive technologies (3D printing) on the practical components using FDM technology (3D printing, plastics, composites) and SLM (3D printing metals) with respect to the topological optimization and design of bionic structures.
