Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the operation of 3D printers across all available technologies (FDM, SLA, SLS, SLM, CFF + FDM). Students will first prepare theoretically and then get acquainted in practice and get in touch with 3D printers of these technologies.
The student will be able to:
• prepare a print job from the point of view of postprocessing (slicing),
• control the basic operation of 3D printers,
• realistically print a pre-prepared 3D model,
• prepare the printer for printing (calibration, cleaning, replacement of basic parts, etc.).

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 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 programming and operation of 3D printers, students will focus on the "production phase" and practically get acquainted with the operation of 3D printers across all available technologies. They will gain much-needed experience for possible practice.
