Subject specific learning outcomes and competences
After graduating this course students will be able to work independently with the 3D printer, they will understad the process of 3D prinintg, and will be able to make a flawless model in the STL format.
Learning objectives
The objective of this course is to introduce students to the 3D printing technology, which they will learn to use for the making of spatial objects and their furter use in their artistic work. Students will have the opportunity to have a hands-on experience with technology and thus will acquire the practical skills essential for independent work.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Basic PC operation skills; ability to navigate in the virtual space; patience and interest in 3D technologies. Experience with 3D modelling software (Blender, Maya, Rhino etc.) is welcomed yet it is not necessary.
