Course abstract
The aim of the study course is to gain insight into 3D modeling. Students 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.

Requirements for awarding credit points
Must have successfully written 2 tests, developed laboratory works and passed independent 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 course mark is formed as an accumulative assessment from the average assessment of tests, laboratory work and permanent work.
