Metal technology is at the heart of many branches of industry. As a metal technician, you will work on the manufacture, maintenance and repair of metal components and tools that are used in almost every industrial production process.

Toolmaking technicians assemble the parts produced by the machining department and numerous purchased parts into the finished pressing tool. This often requires a talent for improvisation and manual skills. However, the true art of toolmaking only becomes apparent during the trial run, when the functionality of the pressing tools is adjusted.

Tasks in toolmaking technology at a glance: 

• Design and manufacture of tools and molds
• Working with CNC-controlled machine tools
• Use of CAD software for modeling
• Learning precision measuring and testing techniques

Machining technicians produce the individual tool components from raw materials ranging from the size of a 1-euro coin to huge 20-ton parts. The programs for this are created directly at the cutting machine. They are responsible for ensuring that the work orders are carried out exactly according to the design and on time.

The following content is taught in the machining technology apprenticeship: 

• Production of precise metal parts by milling, turning and drilling
• Programming and operating CNC cutting machines
• Selecting the right cutting materials and tools
• Monitoring and optimization of manufacturing processes
