Deze maand komen eigenlijk alle voorgaande onderwerpen bij elkaar. Bij (moderne) machines zoals een 3D printer wordt gebruik gemaakt van elektronica, sensoren, actuatoren, embedded software, computerapplicaties etc. We kijken naar hoe al deze onderwerpen samen komen, maar ook naar sommige specifieke dingen die te maken hebben met mechanica en mechatronica zoals overbrenging en (heel belangrijk) lagering.
