M2 - Industrial Product Design and Development

This UE is applied to the "innovative project in mechanics". The aim is to give the student the elements needed to simulate the creation of a company, based on the product or range of products developed as part of the innovative project.

This UE is divided into :

courses taught by professionals from the world of business creation

consultations with professionals to help students (groups of up to 3) simulate setting up their own business.

The aim of this course is to prepare students for professional interviews by giving them the keys to making the most of their past experience.

This teaching is based on interview simulation games constructed on the basis of existing job offers.

Labor law deals with the analysis of the main rules of the employment contract, including the employee's obligations, the employer's obligations and the termination of the employment relationship.

Although natural composite materials have been used for thousands of years, the high technology of advanced composites has only been used in the aerospace industry for fifty years. Applications are increasingly varied: from aircraft structures and hydrogen tanks to tennis rackets and boats. The aim of this course is to analyze and design laminated composite structures using industrial calculation codes. To achieve this, the different components of petrochemical and natural composites are presented. Next, the implementation processes are discussed. Finally, a theoretical and applied study of laminated composites is carried out. A practical application of these important theoretical notions is carried out on an industrial calculation code (ANSYS) during practical work and a project.

The Product-Material-Process triptype is apprehended through company visits whose themes are:

- welding (Cameron France);

high-capacity machining and non-destructive testing (Cameron France);

the RIM process (Ados);

plastic injection (Cid Plastique);

Waterjet cutting (MP waterjet)

Profile production and heat treatment (System Profiles)

3D printing (plastic/metal)

Each of these visits is prepared, within the university, by the professional in charge of the visit. These interventions conclude with case studies.

The professionals met during the interventions of this UE participate in the industrialization phase of the innovative product by providing their technical expertise.

The objective of this module is to practice numerical simulation tools (finite element software or mechanism simulation) by insisting on their limitations, through case studies on: HPP isotropic elasticity, modal analysis, mechanism simulation, topological optimization, thermal and thermomechanical analyses,...). In most of the examples covered, we will try to show the interest of experimentation, both to feed the models upstream and to validate them at the output.

The objective of this UE is to develop a new product. The idea or new need is initiated by the project group of 2 or 3 students maximum. This innovative project covers the different phases of a project from the statement of the need to the realization of the functional prototype (see the pre-industrialization of the product) through the analysis of the competition, the search for a solution in principle, the definition of validated solutions as well as the writing of the claim of their patent when the technical solution is defined. This innovative project is associated with 5 other teaching units:

CAD and prototyping, which corresponds to the implementation of the digital mock-up and the creation of the functional prototype;

graphic design in which the student develops the communication elements for this innovative project: packaging, poster, presentation video, first page of the website;

eco-design in which the student defines the "environmental value of his innovative product".

This teaching unit is common to the CDPI and Biomechanics courses. It lies at the heart of any industrial product design process, whether for healthcare or any other field. In this unit, various players from the socio-economic world will contribute their experience in the field.

This teaching unit is linked to the innovative project. With the participation of a product designer, students must be able to introduce design very early on in the product development process.

Functional studies of the product's skin are based on foam models and/or 3D printed models. After validation, the functional prototype is manufactured using the resources available in the mechanical engineering department (conventional manufacturing, NC and 3D printing).

The prototype is validated during a project review called "functional prototype qualification".

This teaching unit is related to the innovative project. With the participation of an eco-design professional, students are able to:

Integrate eco-design into product design;

Optimize the environmental footprint of products ("product balance" software);

Limit the energy resource requirements of products;

Promote the responsible image of the company;

Anticipating environmental labelling.

This teaching unit is related to the innovative project. With the participation of a professional graphic designer, students are able to produce communication elements from the software studied (photoshop, Gimp, Inskape,..).

The renderings focus on the creation of a logo, a poster, the product packaging and a website of the simulated company.

A project review specific to this UE makes it possible to validate the proposed communication elements.
