Hello everyone
I apologize in advance if I have wrong forum
I am a new graduate student in maintenance and since September I am fequencing higher technical courses in mechatronics, the goal is to make the mechanical designer I have a good knowledge of solidworks and inventor. we should start doing the internship though I have not yet found a company that forms me as a designer I found instead a company that willing to train me as technical programmer cad cam with mastercam. and I wanted to ask you some advice on this figure
 
the companies are currently kicking off the teachers. Imagine if they hire you and pay you to make you a good life by pretending to study
 
It's not a question of giving a bad answer.
If they've predicted something like that at best, they're making fun of it.

At worst they could even scam it

I don't understand what you mean, can you please motivate your statements?

I am not surprised that you do not find a place as a "designer/designer" , while on the contrary you are offered an internship as a cnc programmer, which being a "operative" figure is much more sought after than the designer.
In recent years there has been an inflation of "designers-designers", everyone has wanted to do (or to say to do) the designer, while the operational figures (programmers, specialized operators, welders, etc) have always been snobbed.
the result is that a good tig welder brings home 2000 euros per month without problems, while the yet "designer-designer" if it comes to 1500 must thank the sky.

I wouldn't get too much on the search for a designer's place, but I would take the chance to practice as a cnc programmer.
 
I confirm what others say.
at this stage take advantage of all the training that you are proposing, you will have time in a few years to decide what your path will be.
the cam programmer is a role that will be increasingly present, and doing it well is not easy.
so many say they know how to do it because they know the commands of the software, but in reality you have to know work, working strategies, materials, tools

attention that is not always so

I have been cad/cam for almost 20 years, my brother the welder to tig for almost 20 years, I have a diploma of maturity, he a professional institute (enaip, for those who know)

he catches radiation, smokes, oils, asphyxiating gas, works in summer heat and cold winter, in uncomfortable and static positions. If he continues to be 50 years old he will not be able to tie his shoes... I worked in a very stressful office that required different abilities, but he chose a hell, other than... and the salaries were backwards than what you wrote above. .
not to make controversy:If one has the chances and abilities I recommend to him to study.the opportunities there are, of course, depends on the area, but one if you also have to look for them.What do you want? the wage guaranteed because "the office is worth more than the workshop"?
I could not study more, and I was lucky, I would have graduated at a time where I could not choose the job, as I managed to do thanks to the situation of that period and the professionalism that I began to mature. So, it also serves ass (ndr).

Of course, for the technical office you must be brought, otherwise it is impossible

I obviously didn't express myself well...
I didn't say it wasn't worth studying.
I simply said that, especially in the current context, I do not consider it a smart choice, especially when you have other offers of equal if not higher spendability on the market (people who can turn the cnc machines properly if they find few, often they must be formed in the company)... of tyrapes that spread for designers/projects

My wish was more of a note on the side than anything, it was not a direct criticism of your speech, the second part was not directed to you?

from these parts cmq figures like my spade are not there, the average/small companies need cad/cammisti ready to make a cubic bouquet, right there, in that company where the holder drinks 17 coffees per day, where that Mr. "pfff I don't feel the mouse click" is ready to give you 3k a month...in exchange for the soul :roflmao:

returning a little more in topic...I also think that to work you learn at the workplace, whether weld, draw or equip/use a cnc

Good weekend

Bye-bye
Take this opportunity and feel lucky.
learn how to use a cnc milling machine, learn the working strategies and all this will help you to crown your dream. You'll be a great designer. your projects will be better than many other designers who spread for such.. and you will not make absurd projects where the ridiculous is confused with science fiction
 
hi, I recommend you accept, you will learn cad-cam,to equip the machine,to do the preset to the tools and maybe to sharpen them,maybe some programs in code g (carry machine),it is not little...I started from the traditional machine tools, then I went to those in control, first programming with g code then with cad-cam.now work as a designer for 10 years,it's been a good choice,
