The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the methods and computer tools used during the design process for additive manufacturing, especially in the production of complex products using topologically optimized parts, petal structures, generative design and structural parts made of material combinations. Additionally, students will be introduced to the digital flow of information during the additive manufacturing process and the use of computer tools that help in the preparation of production models, and the preparation and monitoring of the additive manufacturing process.

Student responsibilities:

Regular attendance of lectures and exercises. Involvement in discussions of topics in lectures and exercises. Development of project tasks

Grading and evaluation of student work over the course of instruction and at a final exam:

Class activity 16.7%, project assignments 50%, oral exam 33.33%

Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to (learning outcomes):

1 . Select the appropriate additive production process for a particular product

2 . Independently prepare and manage the digital flow of information in additive production

3 . Design topologically optimized parts
