Future technology 3D printing in the Pupils' University

3D printing is considered one of the most important technologies of the future. Today, modern special printers can be used to produce almost anything - toys, spare parts, food and even entire houses. Based on digital three-dimensional models, even the most complicated geometries can be printed using various processes. This enables a completely new and efficient design of components. How it all works - also known as additive manufacturing - is shown in this hands-on lecture at the Pupils' University. Its speaker, Stephan Hernschier, is an academic staff member in the BTU's CAD/CAM design department .
