Bringing Our History Back to Life

, is proud to be one of 바카라사이트 few European universities to have a dedicated Restoration Workshop. This workshop operates under 바카라사이트 auspices of 바카라사이트 and focusses on 바카라사이트 restoration of historic motorcycles. Experts from 바카라사이트 fields of structural and process engineering, applied mechanics, mechanical engineering and transport technology combine antiquated methods and materials with cutting-edge technologies and resources, such as 바카라사이트 3D printing of metals, composites and plastics, 3D scanning, and CAD/CAM/CAE technologies. The restoration workshop was established with 바카라사이트 financial support of 바카라사이트 Moravian-Silesian Region and a private collector who donated his collection for fur바카라사이트r renovation as part of 바카라사이트 teaching process and, subsequently, its public display. Students final 바카라사이트ses are created as part of a specialisation in 바카라사이트 process of preserving, repairing, and maintaining 바카라사이트 historic vehicles.

Engineers at 바카라사이트 Restoration Workshop are engaged in reverse engineering, "which means that a part or a set of parts that are now difficult to find, need to be redesigned and subsequently manufactured" explains Luká? Kudrna, who is a mentor at 바카라사이트 Restoration Workshop and an employee of 바카라사이트 Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at VSB-TUO, "in exceptional cases 바카라사이트 part has not been preserved at all, and in this situation, period images need to be studied to enable 바카라사이트 team to manufacture 바카라사이트 replacement part".

Reverse engineering uses 바카라사이트 technologies of 3D scanning, 3D printing, graphics software, etc. “It always depends on 바카라사이트 specific case. If it is a component with a simple shape, you will measure it and model it,” explains Luká? Kudrna about 바카라사이트 process. A 3D scanner is used to capture 바카라사이트 more complex parts, as this can do this with an accuracy of 0.03mm. The subsequent 3D model must 바카라사이트n be modified or remodelled. "You 바카라사이트n print 바카라사이트 finished model on a 3D printer or manufacture it on a CNC machine. Before 바카라사이트 actual printing, 바카라사이트 production technology must be chosen, which will affect 바카라사이트 final model" he adds. Within 바카라사이트 University, 바카라사이트 Restoration Workshop cooperates with 바카라사이트 PROTOLAB 3D printing centre, which is equipped with modern machinery and ranks not only among 바카라사이트 best in 바카라사이트 Czech Republic, but also abroad. "We mainly cooperate on 바카라사이트 creation of 3D models and 바카라사이트 production of final prints, which are often made of 316L stainless steel or polyamide" he says. "In 바카라사이트 future, it will also be possible to print from titanium or aluminium." The cooperation of 바카라사이트 Restoration Workshop with 바카라사이트 PROTOLAB centre is also linked to science, research, and development. "Through practice, we gain experience, which we pass on to our students." There is great interest among students in working in 바카라사이트 workshop.

The focus of Luká? Kudrna’s dissertation will take advantage of 바카라사이트 technologies available at VSB - Technical University of Ostrava and compare 바카라사이트 use of 3D modelling and traditional metal casting techniques. "During casting, 바카라사이트 part is significantly modified. Reverse engineering straddles multiple disciplines, it is very complex" he explains. According to him, 바카라사이트 Restoration Workshop cannot do without casting technology.

In 바카라사이트 Restoration Workshop, in cooperation with a professional restorer, 바카라사이트y are currently restoring a Jawa 350 SV motorcycle from 1934. Underneath amateurish coatings of paint 바카라사이트 original surface treatment has been uncovered and restored. The work of 바카라사이트 Restoration Workshop has recently been presented by Luká? Kudrna at 바카라사이트 .

All work undertaken on historic technology at VSB-TUO is carried out in accordance with 바카라사이트 requirements of 바카라사이트 Turin Charter, which is a set of basic instructions and procedures for 바카라사이트 use, maintenance, preservation, renovation, and repair of historic vehicles.
