This paper presents the design and real- ization of a fully functional, 3D-printed replica of the Enigma cipher machine, coupled with an interactive digital twin via a hardware–software interface. Be- yond the acquisition of practical and trans- ferable skills, the project enabled student- participants to develop a thorough under- standing of the machine’s mechanical op- eration, encryption principles, and histor- ical relevance. The combined physical and digital system supports an illustra- tive and transparent demonstration of the Enigma’s internal processes, making its cryptographic functionality accessible and comprehensible to a broad audience.
