Apprenticeship Technical Product Designer

The special feature of the dual apprenticeship at Kesseböhmer is that you learn both in the training company and at the vocational school. Good knowledge in the following areas provides the best prerequisites: Mathematics: As a technical product designer (f/m/d), you calculate lengths and areas, volumes and masses, as well as the center of gravity of the product. You should have mathematical knowledge and understand geometric principles. Workshop/Technology: For designs and construction documents, you must create, for example, three-dimensional views of the component or sketches. Therefore, it is advantageous if you master methods and skills of technical drawing. Physics: To assess the load-bearing capacity or flexibility of assemblies and individual parts, you need to know their material properties. Basic physics knowledge and an interest in materials science are therefore advantageous. Information Technology: Complex CAD software is used in design and development departments. Basic knowledge in computer science is therefore helpful. Economics: You learn to calculate the costs for development, production, and materials of a new product. Business knowledge from school can therefore be useful.

As a technical product designer (f/m/d), you will learn to create and modify documentation and 3D data sets for components and assemblies based on design and technical specifications. Also, the coordination of work processes and construction processes, as well as the control and evaluation of work results taking into account the given material properties and manufacturing processes, belongs to your areas of responsibility.
