Course abstract

The aim of the study course is to gain insight into computer programs used in 3D modeling and visualization (MicroStation, SkechUp, AutoCad). Students learn to draw 3D models according to the teacher's instructions, construct self-invented 3D models, prepare them for visualization and printing. Gain insight into the materials used in printing. Prints a self-created 3D model.

Learning outcomes and their assessment

1. Knows the programs used in 3D modeling and printing. Competences should be assessed in the test.
2. Is able to independently create and print simple 3D models, perform post-processing of models and determine further application. Skills should be assessed during laboratory work and independent work.
3. Is able to recognize and know the specifics of materials used in 3D printing. Competences should be assessed in the test.

Part-time studies:
All topics specified for full-time studies are implemented, but the number of contact hours is 1/2 of the specified number of hours

Requirements for awarding credit points

Requirements for passing the course: 75% attendance of lectures, completion of control work, independent and practical work.

Description of the organization and tasks of students’ independent work

Within the framework of independent work, the student develops an individual drawing of a 3D model, in accordance with the teacher's instructions.

Criteria for Evaluating Learning Outcomes

The final grade is dependent on the cumulative mark of the control work, practical and independent work and participation in classes.
