The principle of 'gamification' was at the origin of "Mouldmaker - The Game", the educational game that Reutlingen University created in partnership with the VDWF and Moulding Expo. It is a 72-card bilingual game (instructions both in English and German), which allows to learn the basics of the subject in an entertaining and dynamic way, introducing players to vocabulary used in international markets and showing individual components as either hand-drawn sketches, CAD drawings, sectional drawings, or 3D renderings.
"Mouldmaker - The Game" remains interesting even after people have played through it several times. "When our toolmakers read through these cards, they will have to smile since the cards represent the types of unforeseen events and coincidence that accompany projects in real life," explains Prof. Steffen Ritter from Reutlingen University.
