Learning activities and teaching methods
Lecture, Monologic Lecture(Interpretation, Training), Dialogic Lecture (Discussion, Dialog, Brainstorming), Demonstration, Training in job and motor Skils, Grafic and Art Activities
Learning outcomes
The main goal of the subject is to present to students 3D printing technology, possibilities of creation of 3D models and use of 3D printing in medicine. During practical training the students will try to create a simple 3D model, prepare it for 3D printing and print it.
The students will be able to explain the principle of 3D prinitng. They will be able to create a simple model and print it.
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of work with PC.
