Abstract
In the context of the Industry 4.0, new processes have appeared, such as the additive manufacturing (AM) process. Therefore, new approaches to design parts have to be developed to integrate process constraints. It is very difficult for teachers to effectively guide students during conceptual design for AM, even though various idea generation techniques and methods are available. AM requires an important preparation and compromise in design phases. In addition, design need to be generated in a digital environment. Among the various steps, critical impacts on the final part quality are linked to part orientation. So, this paper focuses on the conceptual design phase to educate future technician and engineers to the design for additive manufacturing. Pilot-study on the teacher's role interacts through active pedagogical tool with students. They need to think in 3D and create directly in 3D. The propose education development use an immersive tool to consider the process constraints. Thereby, students need to deal with an AM process chain. New approaches are analyzed based on the design guidelines for Additive Manufacturing, which were developed by the students themselves. Also, the students estimated opportunities and limits linked to product-process relationship. Finally, the success of the new course contents and form is reviewed by a student evaluation.
