Bachelor in additive & innovative manufacturing
IREPA LASER and its partners, CIRTES, the Institut Supérieur d’Ingénierie de la Conception (GIP-INSIC), the UIMM training centre of Lorraine, Institut Mines-Télécom and the engineering school Télécom Physique Strasbourg have launched the Bachelor in additive and innovative manufacturing.
Bachelor students are trained in all additive manufacturing processes and in the various families of materials (metals, polymers, composites, wood…). A strong focus on laser technologies rounds off their skills in innovative manufacturing processes.
Objectives
- Set up the manufacturing process on the equipment and monitor the production of the part
- Program an innovative manufacturing cell (adaptability, industrialisation, correction)
- Inspect the quality of the manufactured product
- Carry out 2nd level maintenance
- Lead technical discussions with support departments (design and methods office) and management to ensure the industrialisation of the product
Delivered under a professionalisation contract, this theoretical and practical training alternates between the UIMM Lorraine training centre, GIP-InSIC, CIRTES, IREPA LASER and the company.
Learners are simultaneously enrolled in the Bachelor and in preparation for the Certificat de Qualification Paritaire de la Métallurgie “Technicien(ne) de Cellule Autonome de Production” awarded by the metalworking industry body (UIMM). The CQPM certifies professional abilities. It provides national professional and social recognition by companies in the metalworking sector.
Career prospects
On completing this 12-month course, holders of the Bachelor in additive and innovative manufacturing can work in companies carrying out precision work on high-value-added materials and parts, in development centres or in mechanical industries such as automotive and aerospace subcontracting or industrial equipment manufacturers.
Thanks to their command of the equipment, they can independently manufacture and finish parts using all additive manufacturing processes, potentially including a laser production cell.
