Summary
In recent years, rapid prototyping has become an essential part of the manufacturing process. It is developing so rapidly in certain sectors, such as medical, jewellery and architecture, that we are now talking about "rapid production", since the parts produced can be sold directly to the customer. In industries such as automotive, aerospace and rail, rapid prototyping helps to improve quality while reducing design and even research and development times. The aim of this elective is therefore to enable students to take stock of the state of the art in rapid prototyping as a whole, and to understand its benefits, challenges and limitations. The first stage will enable students to take stock of the main processes and the industrial sectors affected by these new technologies. The students will research in small groups and report back to the whole class in the form of self-designed teaching sequences. In the same way, for the materials aspect, the students will be asked to use bibliographical research and simple experiments to construct a presentation explaining the properties expected of printed parts (for the different families of materials). Alongside the skills-building exercises, the students will be working in groups to build a DELTA 3D printer. This printer has an original architecture and an unusual control system, which will be studied in detail. The students will be given the standard components for this type of machine and will be tasked with designing, sizing, manufacturing and assembling all the parts of the frame. They will have at their disposal all the rapid prototyping machines seen during the practical sessions.

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
