Split Technology Park hosted the first expert lecture entitled “Additive Technologies and 3D Printers”, organised by the University of Split – Department of Science and Innovation and Split Technology Park. The lecture brought together more than 40 participants, including engineers, designers, educators and other professionals interested in new manufacturing technologies.
The programme was opened by Anđela Samardžija, MEng in Industrial Engineering, who introduced participants to the fundamental concepts of additive manufacturing, including the types of technology (FDM, SLA, SLS), materials and applications in industry and education. This was followed by a talk by Marko Perić from IZIT, who presented concrete practical examples – from producing functional parts to applying reverse engineering. The talk by Mate Silić, Senior Associate at Split Technology Park, who presented the services and activities of the 3D laboratory, attracted particular attention. Participants had the opportunity to learn more about the possibilities of 3D printing, 3D scanning, prototyping and the educational programmes that TPS is developing in cooperation with industry and academia. The lecture was followed by a tour of the 3D laboratory and informal networking over lunch, which further helped participants connect and exchange knowledge.
Owing to the great interest, new educational events have been announced – including a June meetup focusing on the application of 3D technologies in product design and industrial manufacturing.
