MPIKov AS 2020: With 3D modeling and 3D printing from idea to final product

Series of 4 workshops in June 2020

3D printing, or more correctly, additive technologies, can be considered one of the technologies that will be at the forefront of the fourth industrial revolution. Prototyping and production using 3D printing is a fast, relatively easy, and above all, cost-effective way to turn ideas into products. The technology is interesting for both potential entrepreneurs and companies, and is also increasingly moving into the field of domestic use. This has also been helped by the fact that in addition to the original materials suitable for 3D printing (plastic), many new ones have appeared in recent years, such as gold, silver, titanium, wood and ceramics.

To give you an idea of the importance of 3D printing: the global market for 3D printing and related products and services is expected to reach approximately EUR 33 billion by 2024. The related industry is expected to grow at a rate of 22.5% between 2020 and 2024, according to forecasts (source: https://www.statista.com, 20.2.2020).

By participating in the workshops you will learn:

  • learned basic modeling techniques using a modern CAD program for modeling and creating 3D prototypes,
  • gain practical knowledge that will enable you to create and print your own 3D models, which you can use for market testing, product improvement, production of small batches, etc.,
  • learn about various polymer materials and technologies for manufacturing products so that you can choose the right technology and material for your product,
  • learned about 3D scanning and the principles of reverse engineering,
  • become more competitive with the knowledge and skills acquired.

The workshops are intended for:

  • potential entrepreneurs and budding entrepreneurs who are developing their products and want to present them in the form of a real prototype,
  • existing companies that are developing new products and are looking for simpler and more economical ways of presenting or manufacturing them,
  • to all those who are curious by nature and want to acquire new skills and knowledge.

The number of places in the workshops is limited - both due to the quality of the work and the conditions set by the NIJZ. By submitting an application, you are registering for all four workshops.
