A.) The purpose of the call for proposals is to strengthen the R & D capacity of knowledge bases in order to achieve internationally listed high-quality research results. Our project achieves unique and niche goals in Hungary, as there is currently no complex, interdisciplinaryly built innovation and service center based on 3D visualisation and printing technologies. The 3D center is made uninitial by the university environment, the interdisciplinary research community, the excellent cooperation partners, the organically related economic sector and the novelty of the relevant techniques. Our application directly fits many National Smart Specialisation Strategy goals and specialisation directions. The 3D printing technology — the essence of which is to create different spatial elements from layer to layer with a 3D printer — was developed in the 1960s, but started rapidly after 2010. This is illustrated by the number of patents worldwide. The possibilities for applying these technologies continue to grow today. 3D printing technology uses a wide range of materials — thanks to its wide applicability — the potential of material engineering and methodological research is therefore outstanding within the field of science. The development will launch interdisciplinary R & D & I activities that are important internationally and with which our region is able to catch up with the most advanced centres in Europe in terms of relevant research. To do this, we have the relevant knowledge in different disciplines. Our research will be based on the optimised application of 3D technology solutions. Technical technical coordination will be carried out by researchers from the Faculty of Technology and Informatics (MIK). The Faculty has the necessary knowledge, the experience necessary for the successful implementation of the project, and the Faculty is suitable for the execution of various design, construction, automation and engineering works in an interdisciplinary system. In some disciplines, the University of Pécs has a long tradition in the application of 3D technologies, while other areas will be subject to spectacular development after the implementation of the present application. This is why the expertise and experience of our consortium partners, the research teams of the University of Debrecen (directed by Csaba Hegedűs and Zoltán Csernátony), is essential. B.) Technical and artistic applications The planned research is based on the joint, coordinated work of experts in different fields. The MIK will conduct direct research in the fields of mechanical and technical IT. These are: O hydrogen cell vehicle project; O development and manufacture of medical devices; O design and manufacture of parametrisable medical implants; development of 3D imaging for multi-frequency electrical impedance tomography. Research is also part of research into what new forms and structures can appear in traditional industrial design and product design with the help of 3D printing. The Faculty of Engineering also participates in the partial research of medical applications, such as implant design, mechanical and material examination, dental application design in orthopaedic applications, as well as the development of material structures for better integration and fixation. Among many other competencies, the use of MIK’s experience in design, material science, flow science, and 3D imaging in any field can make the achievement of goals more effective. Led by Bálint Bachmann, the results of the MIK research group of István Háber, Géza Várady and Péter Iványi also offer significant economic potential. With 3D sensors mounted on drones, we get an accurate spatial image that can be used in the areas of architecture, control technology, object and person observation. For this we develop innovative 3D scanning procedures and software, as well as sensor technology and mobile IT infrastructure. Researchers of the Faculty of Arts will also be involved in architectural-related research, who will carry out their work under the leadership of György Fusz. The objectives of this research are: development of adaptive building coverings; O parametric design; In the development studies of adaptive building coverings, we plan to print alternative materials. By implementing parametric designs, we create tangible virtual forms. At the Faculty of Arts, György Fusz, Colin Foster and Márta Nagy will examine the technical needs of fine arts that cannot be met without the use of 3D technologies. Building on the capabilities of the 3D centre and the Faculty, we will develop a Design Center for the efficient development of the creative industry. To this, sculpture, applied art (ceramic and porcelain), graphic design and painting are related to several points.
