Course detail
Polymer Prototypes and Rapid Prototyping
FSI-ZPPAcad. year: 2013/2014
Subject is focused on practical tuition of production technologies for processing of plastics, particularly on the technologies of rapid prototyping - FDM, 3DP, vacuum casting into silicon moulds, vacuum forming of plastics and CNC machining of semiproducts for designers. Subject allows students to realize physical manufacturing of prototypes and models, and practicall verification of their constructional virtual projects.
