Course detail
3D Digital Technology and CAD
FSI-RS1 Acad. year: 2020/2021 Summer semester
The course is focused on modern technology and modern methods used in the development and design of a product. Lessons focused on engineering CAD systems are uniquely extended about the areas of the rapid prototyping, 3D digitization, virtual reality and reverse engineering. Students will gain a comprehensive overview of the technology portfolio in the design, pre-production and production phases of the product life cycle. Teaching is based on high-tech facilities.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
Participation in the exercises is obligatory and is controlled by the teacher. Absences can be compensated in exceptional and well-founded cases – to be determined by the course supervisor.
Credit: active attendance in practices, presentation of project results.
Examination: defence of semestral project, delivery of project results in paper an digital form. Form of project results delivery:
3D digital model, FEM model, analyses of deformation.
All mentioned data in digital form.
Examination: student must pass the final test to complete the course.
Aims
The goal of this course is to familiarize students with the principles of computer aided design and virtual prototyping. Lessons also cover reverse engineering, rapid prototyping, direct digital manufacturing, 3D digitizing technologies and stereoscopic projection.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
Participation in the exercises is obligatory and is controlled by the teacher. Absences can be compensated in exceptional and well-founded cases – to be determined by the course supervisor.
