Build digital skills. Share what works.

Learn how to process 3D data from various measurement systems, compare the geometry of an ideal CAD model with a scan of a real part, efficiently evaluate dimensions and geometric tolerances on digital data, and create clear and professional inspection reports. The training is delivered using ZEISS INSPECT, one of the leading software solutions for 3D inspection and metrology. You will also learn what to focus on when selecting a 3D scanner and become familiar with real-world examples of 3D metrology in practice. The training will be led by Ing. Aneta Zatočilová, Ph.D., Digital Metrology Specialist at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Brno University of Technology, and Ing. Robert Navrátil from 3Dees Technologies, a 3D scanning and metrology expert with more than 30 years of hands-on industry experience.

Microcontrollers turn a passive object into one that senses, decides and reacts. This one-day course builds the foundation needed for that: electrical quantities and Ohm's law, reading and building simple circuits, the Arduino board and its programming environment, and the interplay of sensors, code and actuators. It is designed for people with no previous experience in electronics or programming. The first part of the day works from theory to the first working circuit. After a short introduction to the platform, participants cover voltage, current, resistance and power, then identify the components in their kit and their schematic symbols. They build an LED circuit with a series resistor on the breadboard by hand, size the resistor themselves, and extend the circuit with push buttons in series and in parallel to see logical AND and OR behaviour physically before it appears in code. The second part moves to the board. Participants install the development environment, upload a first sketch, and work through digital output, digital input with pull-up resistors, analogue input, PWM, servo control, and light and distance sensing. Libraries are introduced through real components — a temperature and humidity sensor, an addressable LED strip and an I2C display. Every topic has a base exercise and an optional harder variant, so beginners and faster participants progress at their own pace. The day closes with an open block in which each participant designs and builds a small device of their own from the kit. All hardware is provided.

Target: General

Whether it is a workbench, a laboratory or a desk, everyday tools work better when each one has its place. In this workshop participants build a tool tray of their own from laser-cut plywood and 3D-printed inserts, dimensioned and subdivided around the tools they actually use. It is an entry point into digital fabrication for people with no previous experience: the whole path from an idea to a finished object is covered in a single afternoon. The tray is a modular open-source design available in two base sizes. Its parts — base, sides, corners, dividers, handle, hook and a Gridfinity base plate — are prepared in advance, and how they were produced is demonstrated on the laser cutter so that participants understand the process without waiting for the machine. Assembly then happens in two phases at the workbench, with sanding, gluing and finishing done by hand. Between the assembly phases participants work on the inserts. After an introduction to the FDM 3D printers they choose Gridfinity-compatible parts from open-source libraries, generate their own with the Fusion 360 Gridfinity generator, or produce a custom insert by photographing their tools on a sheet of paper and converting the image into a printable model. Participants are asked to bring the tools and objects they want the tray to hold; all materials are provided and the finished tray is theirs to take home.
