Eight students from Colegiul Tehnic de Aeronautica “Henri Coanda” in Bucharest traveled to Málaga to refine their expertise in additive manufacturing. During this immersion, the group mastered the interpretation of complex technical plans and operated high-precision machinery for cutting, drilling, and polishing plastic and metal components.
Participants managed the entire lifecycle of a print job, from initial setup to final extraction. They performed essential maintenance, including cleaning and lubricating industrial equipment, ensuring operational efficiency within the workshop environment.
Technically, the students utilized specialized software for 3D Mesh design and model creation. They rigorously evaluated design limitations, repaired digital files, and programmed complex support structures to optimize the performance of both PLA and ABS 3D printing technologies.
Mastering the synergy between complex geometric design and industrial additive manufacturing processes.
The trainees achieved proficiency in 2D and 3D modeling software, gaining a deep understanding of manufacturing technologies and material properties. They successfully integrated geometry, algebra, and trigonometry into their design workflows, while mastering technical English to interpret advanced programming languages.
Furthermore, the participants developed a comprehensive grasp of occupational safety protocols and tool selection. They mastered the nuances of ABS and PLA, including their distinct mechanical strengths and surface finishing techniques, effectively preparing them for professional roles in engineering.
