Resumen

Introducción: El alumnado universitario está una parte considerable de su día sentado, una falta de correspondencia entre las medidas antropométricas del alumnado y las dimensiones del mobiliario de la Facultad, puede tener efectos negativos posturales y académicos. La impresión 3D es una tecnología de fabricación por adición mediante las cual se puede crear un objeto tridimensional, en nuestro podría ser crear piezas para adaptar la altura del mobiliario existente. Objetivos: analizar el grado de ajuste del mobiliario de la Universidad de Vigo a las características antropométricas de su alumnado y buscar soluciones al grado de desajuste por medio de la impresión 3D. Métodos: En la investigación participaron 50 estudiantes universitarios (12 mujeres y 38 hombres). Se realizaron las mediciones de altura poplítea, altura del codo y del hombro sentado, con un antropómetro, para calcular su altura de mobiliario ideal y posteriormente compararlos con el mobiliario que utilizan en clase. Resultados y discusión: Los resultados muestran que para el 50% del alumnado, la silla está dentro de los parámetros ideales. Mientras que el 14% utiliza un modelo de mesa que coincide con sus medidas ideales. La impresión 3D permitiría dar una solución al ajuste del 52% de estudiantes que necesitan una silla más alta. Conclusiones: Existe un desajuste entre las características antropométricas del alumnado y el mobiliario que utilizan. La impresión 3D, es una tecnología a tener en cuenta en la búsqueda de soluciones de ajuste antropométrico.
