    • Arts et Métiers wind tunnel (Fawaz Massouh). Large wind tunnel with a test section measuring 1.65 m x 1.35 m and capable of generating winds of up to 40 m/s (144 km/h), equipped with high-performance measuring equipment and suitable for use in teaching, research, and industry. 

           Wind tunnel, Cours Pinel, 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., 15-minute tours every 15 minutes, maximum 10 people, open to all 

  • Laboratory of Processes and Engineering in Mechanics and Materials: PIMM

    PIMM workshops:

    • Buzz le piézo (Marc Rébillat and Frédéric Letellier). Buzz le piézo will give you a glimpse of piezoelectricity in all its forms! After discovering the principle of piezoelectricity, you will see how it can be used in numerous applications ranging from automotive audio to aircraft monitoring and levitation.

    • Plastic: it's hot! ( Mathieu Gervais). This workshop will focus on discovering one of the methods used to shape plastic materials: extrusion. By subjecting plastic to high temperatures, we will discover how its physical state changes and how it can be molded into various shapes. We will also discuss the recycling of these materials, which is a crucial issue today. Finally, we will observe how this type of material has evolved over time and the problems this can pose. 

      Hall 4, 2:00 p.m. to 4:45 p.m., 30 minutes, maximum 10 people, open to all .

     

    • 3D metal printing (Corinne Dupuy), manufacturing a golf club using metal additive manufacturing.

    • Material resistance(Nicolas Ranc and Jean-Baptiste Marijon). Does unbreakable material exist? Are all materials fragile? This workshop offers a fun way to learn the basics of material resistance. The mechanical properties of various materials will be demonstrated through experiments conducted on a 10-ton hydraulic press. 

      Hall 3, 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m . in 30-minute slots . Workshop limited to 6 people per session, open to all.
