Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

The main topic for this course is 3D-Printing and Laser Processing.

The learning objectives for this course are: Understanding

  •    3D-printing and laser processing basics
  •    different 3D-Printing technologies
  •    applications related to 3D-Printing and laser processing
