Course detail

3D Digital Technology and CAD

FSI-RS1Acad. year: 2022/2023

The course is focused on modern technology and modern methods used in the development and design of a product. Lessons focused on engineering CAD systems are uniquely extended about the areas of the rapid prototyping, 3D digitization, virtual reality and reverse engineering. Students will gain a comprehensive overview of the technology portfolio in the design, pre-production and production phases of the product life cycle. Teaching is based on high-tech facilities.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students will have an overview of 3D digital technologies used in the design and construction processes.

Prerequisites

Basic knowledges about design of machine parts and machine nodes.
Knowledge of computer control.
Knowledge of Finite element method.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical knowledge of 3D optical digitization methods and advanced modeling in CAD softwares.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Credit will be granted if the student regularly attends classes, submits a model in CAD software and submits a semestral project. The final grade from the exam is a combination of test covering the topics presented in lectures and a semestral project.
At the end of the semester, the student submits a completed semestral project: 3D digital model, report from deformation analysis.
Everything only digitally.
