Abstract
The 3D printing technologies has changed the reality of manufacturing processes and today to prepare future engineers and designers, we need to think which are the best skills and scientific knowledge and also technical know-how capable to promoting and accelerating changes on companies to improve their competitiveness. How we can develop a consistent method to improve the skills for future engineers to deal with it.
The methodology focus is in the development of an integrative project for a new product. The project aim to prepare students to develop an product from the initial idea to the final prototype and involve diverse competences like 3D modelling, physical models, CNC machining and 3D printing process.
The results of the methodology and tasks established are adequate and possibility to improve the individual and group performance. The evaluation model implemented permit the valorization of the final work and that preserves the context of the workgroup and individual commitment.
