As part of Innovation Week, the Bordeaux-Talence “ Arts et Métiers ” campus is opening the doors to its technology platforms. Through two events, discover how new educational approaches, robotics, and metal additive manufacturing are helping to train engineers and shape the industry of tomorrow.
Evolutive Learning Factories : School-Factories for a Different Kind of Learning
Find out how these training plants immerse students in industry-like situations to reinvent the ways we learn and train.
How can we give students the closest possible exposure to the real-world situations they will encounter in the business world? This tour offers an immersive experience at the Bordeaux campus of theEvolutive Learning Factory (ELF) at Arts et Métiers.
From the FabLab dedicated to prototyping to workshops for the production and fabrication of mechanical parts, as well as non-destructive testing laboratories, the tour will offer a glimpse into various educational platforms designed to bridge the gap between training and industrial realities. The “ Evolutive Learning Factories ” are gradually transforming the campuses of the “ Arts et Métiers ” into true Industry 4.0 factory-schools, equipped with production lines representative of the industry of the future and linked to their digital twins.
The goal is to modernize equipment and teaching practices in order to provide future engineers with a learning environment that is aligned with the digital, energy, and environmental transformations taking place in industry.
With an investment of 85 million euros over five years, the ELF program aims to fundamentally transform the educational platforms at the “ Arts et Métiers ” and to train engineers in a way that closely aligns with the expectations and evolving needs of the industrial sector.

Robotics in Metal Additive Manufacturing
Discover how WAAM technology and robotics are opening up new possibilities for designing and manufacturing metal parts.
Metal additive manufacturing is transforming the way industrial parts are designed and produced. Among these processes, WAAM (Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing) technology combines additive manufacturing and robotics to develop new design and manufacturing strategies.
This guided tour will take you inside a WAAM robotic cell so you can learn how it works, see its main equipment, and discover the possibilities this technology offers.
After an introduction to the process, you will explore the range of its applications as well as its potential for various industrial sectors. The scientific and technological challenges that still need to be overcome will also be discussed in order to provide a concrete overview of the current opportunities and limitations of WAAM.
Already in use in sectors such as aerospace, automotive, energy, and defense, this process opens up new possibilities for the manufacture of metal parts and the development of innovative industrial solutions.
