The „European network for 3D printing of biomimetic mechatronic systems – 21-
COP-0019 - EMERALD project, which is part of the Education, Scholarships,
Apprenticeships, and Youth Entrepreneurship Programme (ESAYEP) under the EEA Grants
2014-2021, represents a collaborative effort between technical universities coming from
Romania (Technical University of Cluj-Napoca and University Politehnica Bucharest),
Norway (University of Agder), Poland (Poznan University of Technology), and one private
company coming from Slovakia (Bizzcom). This project that is part of the "2021 Cooperation
Projects in Higher Education Area," which was implemented in the period 2022-2023 has
been focusing on providing educational tools concerning the development of biomimetic
mechatronic systems for people with special needs (with amputated arms) by 3D printing
technologies. The EMERALD consortium partners have tried to find adequate methods of
integrating theoretical knowledge with practical application in the field of biomimetic
mechatronic systems realized by 3D printing technologies for people with special needs (with
amputated arms) in the end. This integration can be clearly seen in the EMERALD e-toolkit
manual, a comprehensive guide that has been developed in order to bridge the gap between
theoretical aspects shown in the e-book that comprise basic knowledge and theoretical
information as basics for real practical applications, focused on the conceiving, manufacturing
and testing of biomimetic mechatronic systems for people with special needs (with amputated
arms), using 3D printing technologies.
The e-toolkit manual which is the result of the collaborative creation of the
EMERALD consortium partners serves as a detailed laboratory guide that goes beyond
theoretical information, providing step-by-step instructions on how to design, manufacture
and test biomimetic mechatronic systems realized by different types of 3D printing methods.
The content of the e-toolkit manual is comprehensive, covering every essential stages in the
development of such systems, beginning with the pre-validation of Computer Aided Design
(CAD) models through Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) analyses, continuing with the
selection of suitable materials for 3D printing, integrating of sensors and transducers and
ending with programming, assembling, as well as the use of Virtual Reality / Augmented
Reality applications being applied for these systems.
A key goal of the e-toolkit manual is to encourage the practical application of
theoretical concepts learned in the course modules provided in the e-book by engaging both
professors and students to go one step forward in producing practical case studies of
biomimetic mechatronic systems for people with amputated arms, guiding them through each
developing stage with detailed instructions that are being offered on the e-toolkit manual. This
hands-on approach not only enhances learning, but also stimulates creativity, prompting the
design of new personalized biomimetic mechatronic solutions. These solutions incorporate
innovative ideas in shape and material selection, customized to specific manufacturing
settings and use of different 3D printing technologies for the producing of real practical
biomimetic mechatronic systems to support real patients with amputated arms in the end.
