Virtual and physical 3D models in the service of ergonomics
Projects
This research aims to develop an environment of support and collaboration to facilitate the design process and focus on exchange between the different stakeholders. The project involved active participation in this development by experimenting the integration of tools such as rapid prototyping (RP) and investigating the relevance of the link with ergonomic assessment.

A research group of ergonomists from the University du Québec à Montreal (UQAM) developed a training program for knife sharpening. Initially, we developed the prototype of a guide adapted to a knife sharpening machine. This guide is used to facilitate learning the proper techniques of sharpening. Having a sharp knife allows a butcher to work safely and avoid musculoskeletal problems.
Creativity based on the human.
