MOREIRA F. The use of physical models in the ceramic industry during the product development process and the possibilities of integrating digital technologies in this process -case studies. 2014. 263f. Dissertação (Mestrado) -Faculdade de Arquitetura e Urbanismo, Universidade de São Paulo, São Paulo, 2014.The purpose of this study is to present information on the use of physical models in the ceramic industries as an integral part of the project method as well as identify the possibilities of using digital technologies in this process for possible contributions to the design. This is a qualitative research, which uses procedures adopted in multiple case studies, from the results of a survey on two ceramic industries for each of the industrial sectors: tableware, sanitary ware, decorative / ornamental ceramic tiles, tiles, ceramic roofing and building blocks. Bibliographical and field researches were conducted through visit to ceramics industries, representatives of digital technology equipment, national and international research centers and institutions that own digital equipment to obtain physical models. The physical models are widely used in design projects during the phases of product development and serve to generate, analyze and select the proposed alternatives, in order to provide answers to problems which arise through tests and simulations and that must be appropriated to the issues and information that are intended to be collected. Traditionally, the development process of physical models in the ceramic industry requires technical knowledge and depends on training and manual skills of the modelers. The use of digital technologies is widespread in other segments of the industry due to the ability to turn quickly and accurately, virtual computer models into physical models. In order to understand how each segment of the ceramic industry uses physical models, their specificities had to be evidenced, regarding aspects of product configuration and limitations of materials and manufacturing processes. The following digital technologies were analyzed: rapid prototyping process, CNC machining and 3D scanning. This work demonstrated how the traditional analog processes can be complemented and/or substituted in order to obtain physical models through the insertion of digital technologies in this process.

Os serviços de saneamento básico revelam um cenário crítico no Brasil. Tal situação é ainda mais grave nas áreas rurais. A população rural, além de estar em déficit em relação a esses serviços, sofre maior impacto na educação e saúde. Com base nisso, a pesquisa objetivou elaborar um diagnóstico preliminar da situação referente à água e esgotamento sanitário do Distrito de Monte Verde de Minas. Para isso, foram realizadas entrevistas semi-estruturadas com moradores e a análise foi realizada por meio da Análise de Conteúdo. Verificou-se que a qualidade da água compromete a saúde, educação e segurança dessas pessoas. A precariedade dos serviços faz com que os moradores tomem iniciativas para mitigar a situação, levando a um descrédito da população em relação à companhia de saneamento. Faz-se necessário um estreitamento entre a companhia, poder público e comunidade, de forma que tão logo esse direito humano básico seja entregue a essas pessoas.
