COLLABORATIVE PROJECT AS A DIDACTIC PLATFORM OF VIRTUAL MOBILITY FOR ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING COURSE
Résumé
Industry 4.0 refers to new production methods to meet current societal challenges, notably the improvement of working conditions and the optimization of flows with remote process monitoring. It requires engineering schools to be able to train in new transversal skills. This article presents the experience on international virtual mobility with a Brazilian (UFRJ) and a French (INSA Toulouse) School of Engineering in the area of additive manufacturing. The objective was to develop a collaborative project in distance with a defined technical objective. The project was conducted with weekly meetings during the scheduled classes. An extruder to produce FDM filaments was installed in INSA Toulouse by the French students advised by the Brazilian students, which allowed the production of poly(lactic acid)-PLA/carbon fiber composite filaments. Specimens for mechanical resistance tests and 3D workpieces were designed and FDM printed using the produced filament. The project required multidisciplinary profiles and planning, organizing, and communication skills. As a result, both technical results and educational challenges are presented.
