Rapid Prototyping and 3D Digitization (FSI-YRP)

Academic year 2020/2021
Supervisor: doc. Ing. David Paloušek, Ph.D.  
Supervising institute: ÚK all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the methods of algorithmic modeling, technology of optical 3D scanning and additive technologies to provide a sufficient understanding, important for the development of the creative potential of an industrial designer.
Learning outcomes and competences:
Students will be able to design and prepare parts for additive manufacturing, process the scanned data of 3D objects and transform it into surface models useable for further design work. Students will utilize gained experience during preparation of diploma thesis, in further doctoral program or in practice for development of new products. Knowledge of additive technologies and optical digitization will expand the skills required for the design and implementation of pre-production models.
Prerequisites:
Knowledge in area of CAD systems, particularly Rhinoceros 3D.
Course contents:
During the course, students learn the methods of acquisition and processing of accurate 3D data that can serve as a basis for reverse engineering or one of the steps in the design process. The course includes accurate methods of optical digitizing typical functional parts as well as the scanning procedures with manual 3D scanner for ideological drafts. The course continues with teaching of methods of scanned data post-processing in order to give students sufficiently broad overview of important for future practice. After a general introduction to 3D printing technology (FDM, FFF, 3DP etc.), students will learn how to prepare data for 3D printing and carry out the 3D printing job.
Teaching methods and criteria:
Lessons are focused on practical software tools and technologies. The course is taught through exercises focused on practical problems of measurement and data processing in order to prepare and implement a print job to the 3D printer. Practically-oriented exercises also allow students to get feedback from the physical realization of projects.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
Course-unit credit is awarded on the following conditions: active participation in the seminars, submission of given tasks or project and 3D data in digital form. In total it will be possible to acquire 100 points. Resulting classification will be defined by the ECTS scale. If some of the projects are awarded less than half of the maximum pts., final evaluation of the course is "failed". According to the article No. 13 of Study and Examination Rules of Brno University of Technology ECTS evaluation degree scale is used. . If some of the projects are awarded less than 50 pts., final evaluation of the course is "failed". The course is evaluated with the following grades: ECTS EVALUATION DEGREES / PTS. RATING / NUMERIC RATING: A / 100 - 90 / 1 / Excellent; B /89 - 80 / 1,5 / Very good; C / 79 - 70 / 2 / Good; D / 69 - 60 / Satisfactory; E / 59 - 50 / Sufficient; F / 49 - 0 / 4 / Failed.
Controlled participation in lessons:
Attendance at seminars is obligatory and checked by the teacher. Compensation of missed lessons depends on the instructions of course supervisor. Students have to be present in scheduled hours in the computer lab and work on projects and wait for consultation. The absences are possible only due similar reasons as by work law, e.g. Illness. Unexcused absence may cause denial of credit.
