Additive technologies

Academic Year 2022/23

VUC007 course is part of 2 study plans

​ BPC-VP Summer Semester 1st year

​ BPC-VP Winter Semester 1st year

The course introduces technically oriented users to selected aspects of 3D printing, generative and parametric design, and 3D measurement, as part of Construction 4.0 technology pillars. Students will gradually get acquainted with the pitfalls of Internet resources of models, processing of point clouds from 3D scanners, and learning how to write G-code instructions, which will significantly shift their creativity freedom and efficiency, whether in creating models, functional prototypes or negative forms.
