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 creations were printed using a 3D printer, on site in their classrooms, and funded by the European EIT Manufacturing project. The students were coached by a pair of students from the Grande Ecole Program at the Cluny campus in the planning, design, and manufacture of 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!
