Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with advanced design tools which can optimize the shapes of the designed components in terms of weight savings while maintaining the required mechanical properties. Students will be guided to the development of structural thinking with regard to modern trends in the use of topological optimization, design of bionic structures and microstructures.
The mentioned information, experience, and infrastructure can be further used by students for the creation of diploma theses in master's studies or dissertations in doctoral studies.
The student will be able to:
• design and model a prototype component intended for production by 3D printing,
• control tools for topological optimization
• optimize the model with respect to the technological capabilities of 3D printers,
• control professional SW tools (Altair Inspire, Autodesk Inventor Professional)

Summary
Additive production can be characterized as multidisciplinary and generally consists of several production processes, namely the preparation of production and the assessment of technology, and the design of prototypes. This is followed by production phases (simply the production of plastic or metal prototypes) and postprocessing (heat treatment, surface treatment, finishing methods, and inspection and measurement). Within the subject of Additive production technology, students will get acquainted with modern trends in this area and the production of plastic and metal prototypes, including live examples of 3D printing in the Laboratory of Additive Production and in practice.
