Course abstract

Students gain insight into 3D modeling and printing in applicable computer programs (MicroStation, SkechUp, Blender). Students learn to draw simple 3D models according to the instructions given by the lecturers, to construct self-invented 3D models, to prepare them for printing. Gain insight into the materials used for 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.
