A MOOC for learning the basics of digital manufacturing

This MOOC is the first part of a “Digital Manufacturing” program created by IMT in partnership with MCD and Makery.info. It is funded by the Ile-de-France region with support from the Department of Paris.

SUBSCRIBE TO THE MOOC

Four weeks to understand how digital manufacturing is revolutionizing the production of objects.

3D printers and numerically-controlled laser cutting machines give everyone the possibility of manufacturing their own objects. They can also be programmed and connected to the internet, enabling a quick transition from idea to prototype, thereby allowing their creators to become entrepreneur makers. This rapidly growing sector is giving rise to new professions.

 

An inside look at FabLabs

This MOOC will give you the opportunity to take an inside look at FabLabs to help you understand the basics of digital manufacturing. Through collaborative workshops, you will discover the technology, methods and professions that make it possible to produce the objects of the future such as connected devices, prosthetic hands, furniture and even prototypes for electric cars.

At the end of the MOOC, you will be able to :

•    describe what a FabLab is and what it can be used to do
•    describe how to create an object with a numerically-controlled machine
•    write and run a simple program to program an object
•    explain how to make the transition from prototype to entrepreneurial project

Prerequisites

This MOOC is an introductory MOOC. Basic knowledge of digital tools is recommended (email, web browsing, word processing).

Partners

The “Introduction to Digital Manufacturing” MOOC is co-produced by IMT (with support from the Patrick and Lina Drahi Foundation), MCD and Makery.info.
