CARMA: rapid prototyping and industrial design

The CARMA organizes a meeting of the Club Matériaux on the theme: “Rapid prototyping and industrial Design”. This meeting will take place on Wednesday June 6th from 4.00 pm to 7.00 pm at the CESTI, Maison des Technologies, Georges Pompidou square in Toulon. The rapid realization of industrial pieces models allows companies to reduce constraints linked to the development of a product as well as to validate aesthetics and functionality before industrialisation. The CESTI (center of studies in industrial techniques) of Toulon welcomes thus the first Club Matériaux for a presentation of its know-how in terms of stereolithography, a major technique of rapid prototyping.As well, this meeting will allow participants to develop advantages of prototyping at the step of product conception. The regional center of industrial conception will present evolutions resulting from this process for designers and the European institute of design will tackle this subject in terms of training to design occupations (click on the program).Information and contactsCentre d'Animation Régional en Matériaux Avancés - Région Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, AREP Center - 1, traverse des Brucs - F - 06560 VALBONNETel: 33 (0)4 93 00 43 80 - Fax: 33 (0)4 92 38 98 98; E-mail: carma@carma.cma.fr.site web : www.centech-fr.org/carma.htm
