Project

Technical University of Cluj-Napoca is Lead coordinator of the BRIGHT project and the consortium is comprised by Technical Universities and SMEs partners that are coming from Croatia, Poland, Slovakia and Serbia.

“Boosting the scientific excellence and innovation capacity of 3D printing methods in pandemic period” – BRIGHT Project Reference: 2020-1-RO01-KA226-HE-095517 is an ERASMUS+ program which was funded within the key action “Cooperation for innovation and the exchange of good practices”, Action type: Strategic Partnerships for Digital Education Readiness”. 

Technical University of Cluj-Napoca is Lead coordinator of the BRIGHT project and the consortium is comprised by Technical Universities and SMEs partners that are coming from Croatia, Poland, Slovakia and Serbia. 

The main objective of the BRIGHT project consists in providing teaching resources and methods for professors and students that are coming from the Higher Education institutions and are interested in getting relevant knowledge, skills and competences in the field of 3D printing methods that are used for producing medical parts that can support hospitals and medical institutions in pandemic period. The teaching methods, as well as the applications and knowledge shared by the BRIGHT consortium partners in the field of developing, producing and testing of medical products realized by 3D printing methods will easily ensure the exchange of the expertise, experience and good practice examples within, through and beyond the BRIGHT consortium to the other university partners, with the main aim to provide specialists that are able to support medical institutions using the resources of the BRIGHT project in the context of the pandemic. 

The main resources that will be offered by the BRIGHT partners’ consortium will consist in: 

• BRIGHT support courses required for developing, producing and testing of medical parts that are required to be realized from different types of materials and different types of 3D printing methods  
• BRIGHT e-toolkit manual for digital learning (correlated with the support courses)  
• BRIGHT e-learning virtual laboratory platform for developing, producing and testing medical parts by 3D printing (in correlation with the support courses and the toolkit)  
• BRIGHT e-learning webinars related to the use of 3D printing technologies in the process of development, producing and testing of medical parts that can support hospitals in pandemic period (the webinars are correlated with the support courses, toolkit and examples provided for teaching purposes on the e-virtual laboratory platform)  
• BRIGHT e-case studies for project based learning method used in developing, testing and manufacturing of new medical parts by 3D printing technologies that can support hospitals in pandemic period (case studies are going to be launched on the e-platform of BRIGHT project so professors and students can use the resources provided by the BRIGHT project for developing, producing and testing of medical parts that are coming from medical sector, in cooperation with BRIGHT partners’ consortium and support of the SMEs).
