During the first week of July 2024, our laboratory welcomed two young talents in scientific and technological research: Amelia Smith and Alejandro Guerra Manso. Over the course of the week, they learned to digitize physical models using 3D scanners, process point clouds to create solid 3D models, and transfer them to 3D printers for reproduction. Through this process, they explored the benefits of reverse engineering and applied it to a real case: a connector for a tubular profile structure.

Amelia and Alejandro’s stay was made possible thanks to the program X Summer Campus: Research Experiences, organized by the Fundación Campus Teconológico de Algeciras (FCTA) and the Asociación Amigos de la Ciencia, in collaboration with UCA.

Con esta actividad el Smart Manufacturing Lab muestra su compromiso por el fomento de las vocaciones STEM entre el alumnado de bachillerato del Campo de Gibraltar.
