Developing Prerequisite Knowledge for 3D Modelling and 3D Printing

3D printing is a contemporary method of three-dimensional objects’ production. Prior to the printing, the object must be designed in the form of its 3D model - a virtual spatial body. The model is then transferred into a computer program which will control the printing process. Finally, the object is composed using a stepwise addition of micro-particles (grains).3D printing is very appropriate for the individualized production i.e. for fabricating unique objects or those done in small series. A typical lifecycle of these objects is "Design it – Produce it – Make use of it". A growing interest in this extent of production requires preparing enough 3D-printing specialists in a variety disciplines. In our presentation, we discuss what professionals are needed and what modifications of contemporary schooling would fulfil these requirements to a maximum degree.
