Numerical Modeling and Rapid Prototyping (FSI-HRA)

Academic year 2018/2019
Supervisor: doc. Ing. Jan Zouhar, Ph.D.  
Supervising institute: ÚST all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:
The course explains the principles of Computer Aided Design systems and methods of prototype manufacture – especially of rapid prototyping.
Learning outcomes and competences:
Students will have an overview of CAD system and Rapid Prototyping technology properties used in the design and construction processes and in prototype manufacturing.
Prerequisites:
Basic knowledges about design of machine parts and machine nodes.
Knowledge of computer control.
Course contents:
The course is focused on modern technology and modern methods used in the development, design and manufacturing of a prototype. At the beginning the term “Computer Aided Design” is defined along with its integration into the production process. Next, CAD systems are dealt with in more detail, systems separated into categories and the use of each category is explained with a view to working methods and available tools. Part of this subject is concerned with collaborative design between computerized workstations over a network (LAN). The final part concerns prototype product description various methods of rapid prototyping and efficiency reverse engineering methods.
Teaching methods and criteria:
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
Course-unit credit and exam requirements: The student has to be able to explain the suitability of selected solution and applied procedure, objective accuracy of computational and documentation part of the report. The mark reflects also the graphic and formal sides of the report.
Controlled participation in lessons:
Participation in the exercises is obligatory and is controlled by the teacher. Absences can be compensated in exceptional and well-founded cases – to be determined by the course supervisor.
