Hong Kong Polytechnic University Introduces 3D Printing

The Industry and System Engineering Department of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University has a long history in Hong Kong, which provides distinctive inter-discipline and comprehensive discipline knowledge, focuses on basic knowledge and practices of the engineering, provides students and faculty teams with the most excellent facilities in the whole Asia-Pacific area, and is dedicated to development of qualities and competitive capabilities of students in different fields. The Industry and System Engineering Department introduces 3D printing technology to popularize knowledge of design and manufacturing of 3D printing, improve thinking ability of students, identify relation between production and design, and provides students with more options in knowledge fields and future development.

香港理工大学工业与系统工程系侧重于培训工程基础和知识实践。学校和部门经常带领学生深入讨论和了解工程项目中的设计和实际应用解决方案。为了进一步使学生能够了解行业制造业的最新技术,行业和系统工程部门推出6个TiVertime Up Plus 2桌面3D打印机,该仪在Wudalun数字工厂部署,用于教学,学生研究和实践,定期使用研讨会和研讨会。

After 3D printers are set up, the Industry and System Engineering Department adds many training courses on 3D printing knowledge and actual practice activities in order to extend student’s development. Technicians can apply 3D printing technology to more fields, which can improve specialty level and efficiency.

Doctor Lu Guangyu, a full-time tutor from the Industry and System Engineering Department of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University said, “Now students from our department can print their engineering design models by using their 3D printer without the need of making models at the special plants. Some materials will be wasted unavoidably in the past during making and reverse mold. Now the 3D printer can print on demand, so it can save money and protect environment.”

Doctor Lu Guangyu pointed out, “Students can print models by themselves, and so it can improve efficiency much and make students pay more time and attention to design concepts of products. Some workmanship was required when a model was made by using the traditional workmanship in the past, so most students were male. With 3D printing technology, now the number of the male students is approximate to the female students.” Lu Guangyu said that the 3D printing could be popularized into the school and department due to decreasing price of the 3D printer and help from the DTSL Group as a copartner of Tiertime.

除了时间和成本节约,对于学生,3D打印的另一种亮点是让学生真正测试其产品设计在实际生产中的可行性,因此他们可以了解产品设计与实际生产之间的关系。“设计喜欢Pegasus。设计师可以绘制一个突破PC的重力规则的产品设计“,由博士说,”当我们看到由其他设计学校设计的学生设计的未经证实的产品时,我们可以立即确定产品不能生产。万博manbetx是正规公司吗我们的学生可以自己打印设计的产品,所以他们可以知道如何平衡制造工艺和设计。“万博manbetx是正规公司吗

Lu博士展示了一个像小鸡一样的U闪存盘,并介绍了这个产品来自该部门的学生。由于在鸡翅上锁定,这项工作无法使用传统的逆向模拟来形成一次。3D打印可以轻松解决这个问题,因此学生深入了解3D打印的好处。

The knowledges of the common use of the 3D printer isn’t a problem. The UP Plus 2 of Tiertime is a desktop 3D printer, which is very easy to operate, and has automatic height adjustment and calibration system and intelligent support algorithm. This product provides humanized operation software, so operators can quickly grasp and familiarize operation of this printer. “Now the youth can accept new things quickly. Less time and cost is required for training”, doctor Lu said, “We hope to make more persons know benefits of the 3D printing, assist learning of students, even assist employment in future. I believe that the 3D printing will be used in the life and become the necessity at home in future.”

The Industry and System Engineering Department of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University not only trains their students, but also hosts the Open Day and Summer Camp at the university to teach the knowledges on 3D printing, hosts the 3D printing match, and attracts more students from some middle schools. Huang Jisheng, a representative of the champion team in the “Originality Production Design and 3D Printing” match of the Summer Camp, said that the Summer Camp activity made him know untouchable knowledge and skills, deepened his understanding on the engineering, and identified his development direction in future. He said, “He can experience the engineering design and manufacturing process and develop in the engineering field in future.”
