The trip schedule for the students from Informatikai Kar (IK) [Faculty of Informatics] was tightly connected to their ever popular course on 3D printing and modeling. The team of fourteen students and two instructors spent most of their time at the Czech Technical University in Prague, one of our partners in the mobility programs.
“In the Prague-based institution, we had the opportunity to familiarize ourselves with the courses offered by the Faculty of Information Technology and the details of the semester-long mobility. Professor Jirina Scholtzova presented to us the valuable projects of their students, whereas our students could visit their faculty's laboratory called 3DPrintLab, where self-built printers serve not only the students of the course, but also anyone who needs a 3D printed object for a project,” said Marianna Zichar, Associate Professor at the Department of Data Science and Visualization of the Faculty of Informatics, and the organizer of the study trip, to hirek.unideb.hu.
Marianna Zichar underlined that the rationale of the study trip was to show the students as many interesting shapes, i.e. 3D-modellable objects and buildings, as possible.
“As part of the campus tour, we walked around the building of National Library of Technology, which is not only interesting for its construction, but also unique in its interior design. To get inspiration for 3D modelling, we visited the so-called Steel Art Museum, where we saw models made of scrap metal. Together with my colleague, Associate Professor Ildikó Papp, we also tried to show public pieces of art works and buildings in the city, such as the Dancing House, or unique shapes on bridges and statues, such as the rotating Kafka head sculpture, which can all be connected to 3D modelling and 3D printing,” said Marianna Zichar.
Our group of students also visited the demonstration lab of Prague-based Prusa Research, where more than 600 3D printers are simultaneously producing parts for the company's printers from different filaments. The first 3D printer, built by Jozef Prusa, the company's founder, was on display, as well as the latest technology developed by the company.
“During these three days, there was also an opportunity for leisure activities, like touring the castle and the old town, and the Czech beer tasting was not to be missed either,” added the Associate Professor of the Faculty of Informatics. She also mentioned the fact that such a short mobility is not only suitable for gaining knowledge and experience but it can also represent an excellent opportunity to be a “dress rehearsal” for a longer mobility later on.
