Participants’ Pains
We know that…
There is a growing interest in understanding how 3D printing works, the most commonly used types of 3D printing, deciphering the acronyms associated with 3D printing technologies, and the production time involved in 3D printing, among other questions, particularly among the younger generation.
It is a method of creating a physical object from a digital design, involving various techniques and materials, but generally based on adding successive layers. Additive manufacturing enables faster and more cost-effective prototyping as parts are directly produced from their digital models, eliminating the need for extensive technical documentation.
Allocating enough resources and expertise to data protection and privacy issues is another concern in companies. Especially, SMEs may not have the knowledge, expertise or financial resources necessary to carry out data protection impact assessments, data breach notifications or data audits, in contrast to large companies.
Wide acceptance of new technologies in the workplace is a challenge for young people as well. When students gain a basic understanding of such technologies, they will be able to ease their transition to advanced smart manufacturing jobs and adapt effectively to the changing technological environment, preparing their careers for the future.
Participants’ Gains
So, we developed this course, in which…
The topic of additive manufacturing technology is highly sought after by both educational institutions and industry.
3D printing, often referred to as additive manufacturing, covers a variety of ways to create three-dimensional objects from digital files. This topic will introduce students to the main concept of 3D printing, including familiarization with the most common technologies and materials. The student should be able to distinguish between different approaches to additive manufacturing and be able to choose the most appropriate one for a given case of rapid prototyping or custom manufacturing of components.
Currently, there are numerous technological methods of 3D printing as well as a variety of materials available. To make the right decision regarding the production method for 3D products or models, it is necessary to have knowledge of their specific characteristics, the desired outcomes, the conditions under which they will be used, and based on that, choose the appropriate method, material, and 3D printer to determine the production process conditions for the 3D product.
3D printing has long ceased to be confined to the realm of technology enthusiasts. Three-dimensional printing has penetrated various industries, including aerospace, medicine, construction, and many others. A comparison is made between the advantages of 3D printing and conventional manufacturing. Particularly interesting for beginners who want to acquire knowledge in this field will be a step-by-step approach, starting from the design phase of their model to its printing.
