Build digital skills. Share what works.

This workshop introduces the fundamentals of motor control and drive systems. Students will learn the basics of stepper motor phases, manual pulse generation and frequency control, followed by hands-on training with external drivers, NC breakout boards, and Arduino firmware execution. The workshop concludes with an industrial demonstration of AC servo control and NC Motion in TwinCAT.

Target: University students

This workshop provides a practical introduction to 3D printing as a modern manufacturing technology. Participants learn how additive manufacturing works, where it is used, and what advantages and limitations it offers for prototyping, product development, and customized production. Following an introduction to 3D printing technologies, materials, and safety considerations, participants create or modify a simple 3D model using CAD software. They learn how to prepare models for printing, including slicing, selecting print settings, and understanding how different parameters influence print quality. During the practical session, participants prepare and start their own print while gaining insight into the complete workflow from digital design to finished prototype.

The Apprentice Innovation Workshop Series equips participants with practical skills in digital technologies and innovation processes. Throughout the program, apprentices are introduced to Computer-Aided Design (CAD), 3D printing, laser cutting, embedded electronics and programming, artificial intelligence, and project management. Participants work on a practical innovation challenge that is defined in collaboration with their training companies, ensuring that the learning experience is directly connected to real business needs. Between workshop sessions, participants complete manageable assignments that allow them to deepen their knowledge and further develop their projects. Working in interdisciplinary teams, they apply newly acquired skills to design, prototype, and refine innovative solutions while strengthening collaboration, problem-solving, and communication skills.
