presentation of digital prototypes

Dear students,

I wanted to remind you that the presentation of the prototype we are supposed to do will take place on coming Thursday, the 24th of March at 1300h. There will be also a guest jury. Please prepare 2-4 pdf pages in landscape format explaining your subject of research, your design process and your manufacturing drawings,with diagrams, 3d images and photographs. You also need a title and bullet points describing your research topic and your approach.  Please use vector drawings for your diagrams and high resolution images for 3ds and photographs. The pdfs will be projected on the wall, so there is no need for a print out. Please place your pages in one single pdf file, named after your group.
