Lectures

Goal

Introduction to theoretical principles and practical skills in the field of designing technologies based on the adding material - additive technologies and their application to metal and polymeric materials. Furthermore, achievement of theoretical and practical knowledge from the design, calculation and construction of machining systems for additive manufacturing technologies based on modern technologies and optimal solution (natural construction methods and generative design).

Outcome

Upon successful completion of this course, students are able to: • Recognize the basic differences between methods of material removal, material shaping and adding material (additive technologies) • Distinguish methods of additive manufacturing • Compare methods of additive manufacturing • Analyze the possibility of using additive technologies • Depending on the load of the structure and its purpose, they prescribe the appropriate type if additive technology, as well as modes of manufacturing • Generate a computer model of the work: CAD and scanning • Use generative methods (approaches) of designing based on natural method of construction • Optimize the geometry of the structure according to the conditions of additive technologies • Prepare for manufacturing • Design and calculate a processing system intended for additive manufacturing technologies.

Theoretical teaching

Division of technologies; Basic concepts; The importance of Additive Manufacturing Technologies in modern development and production; Division of Additive Manufacturing Technologies; Additive production processes; 3D printing; Application (Production of prototypes, functional parts and tools); Techniques for forming 3D models using CAD tools and scanning; Natural construction method and generative design methods; Examples from industry, future directions of Additive Manufacturing Technologies development.

Practical teaching

Laboratory practices with laboratory equipment in which the student gets acquainted with the practically realized processing systems for additive technologies. Introduction to the process of production of functional parts through the development of the project task. Computer simulations: Optimization of geometry, prescribing manufacturing technology base od additive manufacturing technologies, design of subsystems for the accompanying type of additive technology. Workshops: scanning of parts and processing in CAD packages. 3D printing. Rapid prototyping and rapid production of tools and accessories.
