Supervisor: doc. Ing. Daniel Koutný, Ph.D.  
Supervising institute: ÚK all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:
Graduates will be able to design, process and produce parts using additive manufacturing. They will understand design rules, production limits and use of non-traditional design elements such as lattice structures.
Learning outcomes and competences:
Ability to design and implement parts for additive manufacturing.
Knowledge of methods of preparing production data for additive manufacturing.
Knowledge of simulation software tools for verification of manufacturability.
Ability to analyze manufacturing problems and defects.
Ability to prevent manufacturing defects by appropriate design.
Knowledge of principles of additive technologies at engineering level.
Prerequisites:
Knowledge of CAD systems (CATIA, Creo Parametric, Rhinoceros, Inventor).
Course contents:
The course introduces students to the progressive area of additive manufacturing of metal, plastic and construction products. Students will obtain practical experience with production simulation and data preparation for 3D printing. Attention is paid to understanding of design rules, technological limits and production chain of additive manufacturing. Course integrates the knowledge acquired in courses focused on materials science, CAD modeling, FEA and simulation and design of machines and mechanisms.
Teaching methods and criteria:
Lectures, exercises, laboratories, self-study.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
Course-unit credit is awarded on the following conditions: presentation of results achieved in laboratory exercises (max. 60 points).

Examination conditions:
<p>- passing the theoretical test (max. 40 points),</p>
<p>- a total of up to 100 points can be earned,</p>
<p>- the resulting classification is determined by the ECTS scale.</p>
Controlled participation in lessons:
Attendance at lectures is recommended; attendance at practicals and laboratory practicals is obligatory and checked by the lecturer. Compensation of missed lessons depends on the instructions of course supervisor.
