Description
This course is linked to the innovative project. With the involvement of a product designer, students must be able to incorporate design into the product development process at a very early stage.
Functional studies of the product's skin are conducted using foam models and/or 3D-printed models. Once validated, the functional prototype is manufactured using the resources available in the mechanical engineering department (conventional manufacturing, CNC machining, and 3D printing).
The prototype is validated during a project review titled “Functional Prototype Qualification.”
Objectives
Assessing the Impact of Incorporating Product Design Early in the Design Process
Design a working prototype of the innovative product
Conduct a project review for the qualification of a functional prototype
Mandatory Prerequisites
Product-Material-Process
Industrial Design
