Abstract
With the advancement of digital technologies, higher education institutions face the need to update their curricula to incorporate tools that effectively integrate theory and practice. Digital manufacturing offers significant advantages, such as greater precision in production, improved quality, reduced errors, optimization of costs and time, in addition to enabling customization to meet the specific needs of users. Incorporating these concepts into the academic environment is essential to prepare students for a constantly changing market. Therefore, a design tool aimed at digital manufacturing was developed, which combines concepts of user-centered design, Parametric Design Thinking and Technology Readiness Level (TRLs). In addiction, a pedagogical plan was developed for its application in academic disciplines and workshops. The validation of this approach is being carried out in a pilot course in the Architecture and Urbanism course at the Federal University of Paraíba, in Brazil, with the aim of evaluating its effectiveness in promoting teaching aligned with contemporary demands.
