3D Printing

Course guarantor:

Tomáš Sýkora

Lecturer:

Miroslav Hrončok, Tomáš Sýkora

Tutor:

Miroslav Hrončok, Tomáš Sýkora

Supervisor:

Department of Software Engineering

Synopsis:

Students learn to design three-dimensional objects optimized for printing on a RepRap printer and the printing itself. They will be able to design objects, prepare for printing and print in 3D.

Requirements:

Basic knowledge of physical principles, particularly changes of state. Mechanical skill. Basic coding skills.

Syllabus of lectures:

1. Course overview, 3D printing technologies and the RepRap project

2. OpenSCAD

3. OpenSCAD - advanced stuff

4. 3D models represented in triangular mesh

5. Slicing, GCode, Slic3r, KISSlicer

6. Cutting meshes in MeshMixer

7. Building 3D printers

8. (free slot)

9. Mesh manipulation in programming

10. Printing - Basics

11. Printing - Bridges

12. Printing - Support material

13. Printing - Advanced stuff
