The student will become familiar with computer-aided design (CAD) of mechanical systems and manufacturing via rapid prototyping technologies (3D printing). The evaluation will be carried out via a design / manufacturing project of a mechanical system according to specifications established at the beginning of the UP. The last session will be devoted to the presentation of the results and exhibition.
