Course detail
Deposition and Additive Technologies
FSI-9DAT Acad. year: 2025/2026 Winter semester
A core of the course is seen in mastering the material aspects of additive technologies like selective laser melting, and/or with the use electron beam technology, cold kinetic deposition etc. Also 3D printing of ceramic and polymer materials will be included. This means to go through the powder precursors preparation, processing conditions selection, prepared material microstructures evaluation and relation to properties analyses and/or predictions. Students can apply acquired experience with “layer by layer” material preparation procedures for their own doctorate project realisation as, e.g. for materials with internal architecture creation, as well as, in future, they can contribute do additive processing of components in the technology level.

Entry knowledge
Knowledge from powder metallurgy procedures are expected and/or ceramic technology procedures. A knowledge of CAD systems may be advantageous.
Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
Course-unit credit is awarded based on elaboration of the project and its presentation to other course participants.
Attendance at lectures is highly recommended.
Aims
The aim of the course is to familiarize students with the design process, manufacturing and parts production of 3D printing of polymers, ceramics and metallic materials, namely with tentative design of their own procedures.
The aim may be achieved by practical verification of theoretical knowledge in computer-aided exercises and laboratory works.
