A look back at the 3D prototypes for primary and secondary schools in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region

when a simple ruler also becomes a set square
News

During the Open House at the Cluny campus, students from the Ulis program at Lugny Middle School and students from Georges-Brassens School in Mâcon, as well as schoolchildren from Sancé and La Vineuse, were able to visit the workshops and record their creations on video.

All of the designs were printed using a 3D printer located right in their classrooms and funded by the European EIT Manufacturing project. The students were mentored by a pair of students from Grande Ecole Engineering Programme Cluny campus in the process of conceptualizing, designing, and manufacturing a prototype. 

In terms of:  

  • Extend the life of an item in their kit: an extension for a pencil that is too short for their fingers or a case to protect the eraser. 
  • To give a second life to objects that are too quickly thrown away by transforming them into hourglasses. 
  • Improve their work tools: by transforming a simple ruler into a set square.

Congratulations to these budding engineers!
