Speaker: Assoc.Prof. Dr. Marianna Zichar (University of Debrecen, Department of Data Science and Visualization)

The purpose of creating 3D models can be very different, the tools we can use are diverse, and their applications are related to many fields.
One of the emerging technologies, namely 3D printing, needs 3D models as well.
Characteristics of these models depend on the manufacturing method as well as on their usage. The talk presents the fields where I work with 3D printable models (research, education, different projects)and tries to emphasize the benefits of 3D printing.
 
Short Bio:
Marianna Zichar gained her Ph.D. in Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of Debrecen, where she works as an associate professor.
Her original field of interest is GIS (geographic information systems), where she focuses on geovisualization.
Some years ago, she started to deal with 3D printing and modeling after the faculty received a 3D printer.
Together with some colleagues, she has designed a course on 3D printing and modeling, and she holds this course for bachelor students regularly. She takes every opportunity to collaborate with researchers from other disciplines (such as pharmacy, engineering) and also tends to introduce this innovative field for students in the frame of different projects and workshops.
