WEBINAR: A drum for a washing machine – 3D printing in manufacturing

3D printing has become increasingly popular in recent years. This technology allows greater flexibility that is difficult to achieve in traditional manufacturing. 3D printing can be a cost-effective tool in prototyping and manufacturing various spare parts. It is possible to make production aids, such as jigs and fasteners, jigs and other necessary special solutions. 3D printing technology can be a win in both time and money to achieve a faster, more efficient and more convenient work process.

Come and find out how to apply 3D printing in your company!

Teachers

Renno Raudmäe is a junior researcher in computer engineering at the University of Tartu. He has more than 5 years of experience in the field of 3D printing and 10 years of experience with various CAD software including SolidWorks, SolidEdge, Fusion360.

Renno graduated from the Estonian University of Life Sciences majoring in technotronics with a focus on mechanics and obtained a master’s degree in computer engineering and robotics from the University of Tartu. In addition to his work at the university, he also has experience in the manufacturing industry, working in both the sheet metal and cable assembly departments. For the past 3 years, Renno has taught technical drawing and 3D modeling in SolidWorks software at the University of Tartu and managed the mechanical laboratories of the University of Tartu.

Eva Mõtshärg works as a robotics specialist at the University of Tartu. He participates in the development of the learning robot Robotond and in various research projects involving ROS and curriculum development. He is also involved in teaching robotics to train engineers and ensure smart and agile growth. Eva has practical experience in 3D printing. As part of his master’s thesis, strength analyzes of 3D printed parts and materials were prepared, which he will also present at the training.
