| English | |
| Thanks to the rapidly improving availability of modern digital manufacturing technologies, tools that were previously the preserve of well-equipped research and development facilities are now in the hands of the general public. Therefore, the aim of this course is to familiarize its participants in a practical way with the wide possibilities of modern software and hardware technologies and their application in everyday life. The intention is not to give an exhaustive overview of the subject, but to provide the necessary foundations to enable later independent development and creative work on their own scientific, educational and creative projects. The course is structured into several loosely linked modules that thematically cover the most common areas such as programming microcontrollers and their use for interacting with the physical world through sensors, 2D and 3D objects modeling, work in virtual or augmented reality (AR/VR) environments, principles of 3D printing and scanning, computer-aided cutting, engraving and machining techniques, and the basics of working with electronic circuits. | |
| Understand the basic principles and techniques of 2D and 3D modelling and design. Design and create simple 3D models for a variety of purposes such as prototypes, components or art objects. Understand the principles of computer-controlled machining, cutting and engraving machines, including the preparation of designs and the correct setting of machine parameters. Master the principles of 3D printing and scanning, including printer calibration, selection of appropriate materials, and adjustment of model parameters for optimal printing. Work with electronic circuits and basic components such as transistors, capacitors and resistors, and build simple circuits. Program microcontrollers (e.g., MicroBit or Arduino) for a variety of purposes such as controlling motors, reading physical world sensors, or communicating with other devices. Integrate skills from individual modules into complex projects that involve a combination of design, electronics, and programming. Develop creative and innovative approaches to problem solving and project delivery in digital fabrication and technology automation and mass customization. Use the skills acquired to further personal or professional development in the fields of science, education, and the arts. |

| Block 1: Introduction to Design Principles and Modeling Software (4 hours) Explore fundamental design principles and acquire skills in 2D and 3D modeling software. Get an insight into the possibilities of virtual and augmented reality. Topics include block modeling, parametrization, and the basics of prototyping, providing a solid foundation in design. Block 2: Vector Graphics and Digital Conversion (4 hours) Master the basics of vector graphics with a focus on scanning techniques and converting data from the physical world to digital. Learn about computer-controlled cutting and engraving, emphasizing safety and material specifics, along with an introduction to engraving techniques. Block 3: Fundamentals of 3D Printing (4 hours) This introductory course to 3D printing covers design preparation, material selection, and post-production processes. It provides a comprehensive overview of the entire workflow in 3D printing. Block 4: Advanced 3D Printing Techniques (4 hours) You will expand your knowledge in 3D printing with advanced methods, including working with specialized materials (flexible, water soluble, etc.). You will learn how to prepare models using 3D scanning of the real object, advanced printer setup and stereolithography using resin printers. The block also covers finishing techniques such as gluing, painting, and vapor smoothing with organic compounds. Integration of G-code customization and other 3D modelling generation and optimization of slicing. Block 5: Microcontroller Programming and Sensors (4 hours) Learn microcontroller programming, particularly on the Micro:Bit platform. Discover how these devices interact with the physical world through sensors, and gain experience in using contact boards without the need for soldering. Block 6: Introduction to Basic Electronics (4 hours) This block covers the basics of electronic components and circuits. Emphasizing safety, including protection against Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), it introduces soldering techniques with THT and SMD components. Block 7: Systems Integration and CNC Machining Fundamentals (4 hours) Learn basic approaches to integrating systems into larger automated units. Combine the knowledge acquired in the previous blocks in the creation and presentation of your own mini-project. Gain insights into the fundamentals of CNC machining, including material selection, workplace safety, machine setup, and post-production finishing techniques. Devise your own ways on how to make the process, from a pseudo-code, to the creation of parts, resulting in novel ways to make your own laboratory technique, a novel approach to fabrication, or simply an integration of already existing components. |
