Additive technologies of 3D printing at the department of CIT

On September 30, during the laboratory workshop on the subject "Computer Design Technologies", fourth-year students of the department СIT got acquainted with the design of the 3D printer and conducted a trial printing. The FARM2 3D printer was developed and manufactured by the Kramatorsk company Farm 3D LLC and purchased with funding from the BioArt project under the ERASMUS + program.

The use of additive technologies allows to significantly expand the experience of students in the field of computer modeling and computer-aided design in CAD-systems by moving from computer models of objects to their material implementation.

It is further planned to use a 3D printer in the educational process in such disciplines as "Regenerative engineering and design of optimal structures", "Design and manufacture of medical devices", etc. During their studies, students gain theoretical knowledge of additive technologies and gain practical skills in preparing for 3D printing of various plastic parts, such as implants, prostheses, which are used in medicine to restore lost human functions.
