Mandatory prerequisites
Two years of studies at university level (equivalent to 120 ECTS) within a relevant field of study, before the summer school starts.
Recommended prerequisites
The course is intended for students with an educational background in mechatronics, mechanical engineering or similar. The following prerequisites are recommended:
Introductory CAD course
Thermoplastic extrusion 3D printing hands-on experience or relevant crash course
Learning objectives - Knowledge
The student is able to:
•Reflect on different types of additive manufacturing technologies, including afferent materials
•Reflect on different types of 3D scanning technologies and techniques
•Reflect on the general manufacturability of 3D models
•Understand the fundamentals of mechanical design optimization
•Understand the fundamentals of machine drawings according to DS/ISO standards
Learning objectives - Skills
The student is able to
•Analyze the scanning requirements of a physical object or environment and accordingly select, tune and perform a successful 3D scan of it
•Integrate the obtained data set into CAD for parametric interaction
•Optimize the geometry towards manufacturing via 3D printing and/or laser cutting with respect to fitting and geometrical tolerances
•Choose a manufacturing technology based on the material requirements of the application
•Prepare and slice models for 3D printing and laser cutting, and physically produce components which fit together in a desired fashion
•Document the fits by means of part, assembly and exploded technical drawings included parts lists
Learning objectives - Competences
The student is able to
•Reverse engineer a physical object into a 3D modeling environment and produce a modified or optimized version of it using multiple manufacturing methods
•Document the process in a technical report
Content
•Scanning software considerations
•3D scanning considerations and preparation

Additional information
Enrolment is limited to 10 students. If more applicants than places, applicants who meet the mandatory requirements are prioritized according to the below selection criteria:
1.Undergraduate and graduate students from partner universities (exchange); international undergraduate and graduate guest students (fee-paying); undergraduate and graduate students from other Danish universities.
2.Ph.D students from partner universities and other international Ph.D. students; other applicants.
Students are prioritized on a first-come-first-served basis, i.e. according to the time we receive your complete application.
In case a course is filled up, we try to offer you an alternative course from your list of priorities. All final decisions about admission will be sent out continually.
