Gaining theoretical and practical knowledges in the field of additive technologies and their application in products development as well as in other fields.

Upon passing this exam students are expected to know the fundamental paradigms of advanced product development, basic principles of additive technologies, techno-economic-ecological aspects of the application of additive technologies, methods and the main additive processes used in additive manufacturing, i.e., for rapid prototyping and tool making including the necessary equipment, the criteria for selection of optimal process . It is also expected that student can alone prepare a model which will be later manufactured by proper 3D printer.

Introduction. New trends in product development. Role of physical modelling in product development. Types of models (conceptual models, design models, preserial models). Additive technologies. Additive manufacturing. RAPID PROTOTYPING AND RAPID TOOLING (RP and RT). Types of RP and RT procedures. Procedures on the basis of model solidification. Procedures on the bases of discrete particles fusion. Procedures on the bases of solid materials. Polymerization of solid foils. Post processing procedures. Machines and equipment for RP and RT. Modeling materials. Application of RP and RT. Mechanical industry. Architecture. Medicine. Art. Other aspects of RP and RT technologies applications. (economical aspect, aspect of human environment protection, criteria for procedure selection).

Lectures are realized with active student participation in lectures and practical classes. In lectures firstly reasons for this technology application are presented, then modeling methods for products and tools development and than individual methods/procedures for rapid prototyping and rapid tooling are explained in detail. On practical classes the adequate models of products and tools are designed and prepared using computers and printed on rapid prototyping system in the laboratory. Possible issues are discussed in consultations in separate term
