Summary
Rapid prototyping has become in recent years an essential set of manufacturing processes. This is developing so rapidly in certain sectors such as medical, jewellery and architecture that we are now talking about "fast production" since the parts produced can be sold directly to the customer. In industries such as automotive, aeronautics, rail, rapid prototyping improves quality while reducing design and even research and development time. The purpose of this elective is therefore to allow students to review the state of the art of rapid prototyping as a whole, to understand its benefits, challenges and limitations. A first step will allow students to take stock of the main processes and industrial sectors impacted by these new technologies. Students will search in small groups and return to the whole class in the form of self-constructed teaching sequences. Similarly, for the material aspect, students will be led, from a bibliographic research and simple experiments, to construct a presentation explaining the properties expected on printed parts (and this for the different families of materials). Then the students will work on 2 mini-projects with very different purposes: - Mini-project 1: Design and implementation of a mechanical system. The emphasis will be on finding innovative solutions by limiting the dimensioning aspect. Prototyping techniques will be used to validate and develop the search for solutions - Mini-project 2: Reverse engineering and surface design. The objective is to go beyond the use of the geometric modeler, to design a part with aesthetic requirements and/or complex functional surfaces, by integrating the use of 3D scanning means. Keywords: 3D printing; digital chain; additive manufacturing; vacuum casting; 3D scanner; haptic arm; reverse engineering; CAD design; design office.

Educational goals
At the end of the course, the student will be able to: - Monitor technological developments (level 4: analysis) - Describe the interest, challenges and limitations of rapid prototyping (level 2: Understanding) - Generate digital models to control production machines (level 3: Application) - Describe and interpret the entire digital chain from model to model (level 4: analysis) - Generate 3D part files from an existing part (level 3: Application) - Choose a prototyping process adapted to the need (level 4: analysis) - Implement the entire process from design to physical prototype (level 3: Application) - Compare these new technologies with "traditional" technologies (level 4: analysis) Contribution of the course to the competency framework; at the end of the course, the student will have progressed in: - Theme 1: Enterprise and innovation o Ability to invent creative, ingenious solutions o Ability to stimulate the imagination o Ability to make a prototype or prototype - Theme 2: Understanding complex problems o Ability to understand and formulate the problem o Ability to identify interactions between elements o Ability to propose one or more resolution scenarios o Ability to converge towards an acceptable solution - Theme 3: The design and implementation of transdisciplinary projects o Ability to quickly deepen an area of expertise o Ability to develop working methods, to organize
