by P.PORTO is announcing its third short-course duration for professionals under the topics related to industry 4.0.
This free course will focus on “Additive Technology – 3D Modelling and Printing” and aims to provide students with the fundamentals of knowledge on the Solid Modelling (pieces/assembling) area. This course will provide trainees the ability to use 3D software to parametric modeling a wide variety of objects and devices for both personal and industrial use. At the end of the course, the participants are expected to:
- Be able to recognize the added value of implementing 3D modeling and printing technologies;
- Be able to recognize the added value of fast design and prototyping of new products/devices;
- Rich understanding of the capabilities of 3D printing and how to think about designing objects;
- Understand the business impact of implemented advanced 3D printing technologies
The short-course starts on the 20th February 2020 and ends on 26th March 2020, during every Thursday. The sessions last about 4h, from 6 pm to 10:30 pm, with a 30min break (8 pm – 8:30 pm) at Porto Design Factory (PDF). The sessions will be dynamized by the trainers João Bastos & João Pinho, and cover the following subjects:
PART I – 3D Printing
Printing Technologies and materials
Numeric Command and slicing software
Printing applications
Printing Hardware
PART II – Computer-Aided Design 3D Modelling Principles
CAD modeling principles;
Solid modelling (parts / assemblies);
Import and Export formats of parts/assemblies;
CAD Modelling systems and information organization
PART III – Application Cases
Execution of all steps from object design until prototype printing
This short-course is destined to the middle and senior technical staff of SMEs, and its purpose is to provide students with the fundamentals of knowledge on Solid Modelling (pieces/assembling) area and discuss the trade-offs between the phases of design and production as well as the use of CAD software and available methodologies. Besides, it intends to demonstrate how to use 3D printing software to create digital designs of devices and objects that can be transformed int physical objects through addictive technologies.
Further short-courses will be implemented at P.PORTO. Shall you be interested in joining this course, please register . For any additional doubts, please contact directly Maria Teresa Pereira ([email protected]).
Stay tuned for other educational initiatives that will be launched soon under the Universities of the Future!
