PRESENTATION
The main goal of the workshops is to get acquainted with designing tools provided by 3D modelling program.
Participant will get along with designing curves, planes and solids and based on that – will design his first drone frame. Then, there will be slicer program and 3D printer introduced, first prototype printed, adjustments made and proper model produced. The third stage of the course will be concentrated on electronics – arming the printed frame with electronics, propellers and batteries and getting acquainted with the flight controller. The last part will be learning how to use and play with the drone.
The course provides basic knowledge in 3D modelling and introduces electronics for beginners. The aim of the course is also to popularize knowledge about cutting-edge technologies and boost creativity.
After the course the participants will have basic knowledge about 3D modelling, rapid prototyping and electronics. They will also have their own mini drone – fully equipped and designed by themselves.
