BTS - EuroPlastics and Composites - Option CO: Tool design

The holder of this BTS is a technician and operational manager with solid plastics engineering knowledge. The technician's field of activity for this CO option covers the design of tooling for the various plastic transformation or organic composite manufacturing processes

At the end of their training, graduates will be able to:

• Do the preliminary and detailed design of the tooling
• Elaborate the tooling definition file
• Define and improve the tooling maintenance plan
• Participate in the company's exchanges and constitute a potential interlocutor with tooling production companies, capable of taking charge of and satisfying their demand.

The course is organised into several skill modules, enabling step-by-step progression. It alternates between theoretical input, practical exercises and assessment sessions to promote hands-on, progressive learning.

BC01 – Responding to a project: Preliminary design

• Analysing a design brief.
• Identify manufacturing technologies and methods.

BC02 – Industrial project: Detailed design and industrialisation

• Conduct technical research and analyse documentation.
• Draw up a set of specifications.
• Design parts and tooling using CAD.
• Define manufacturing processes and methods.
• Validate solutions through testing and simulations.
• Organise production environments.
• Plan and manage industrialisation.
• Validate production resources and tooling.
• Propose technical, economic and environmental improvements.

BC03 – Collaborative optimisation project

• Collaborate within an industrial project.
• Justify technical choices.
• Contribute to the optimisation of products and tooling.

BC04 – Production Management

• Integrate into a professional environment.
• Launch and monitor production.
• Coordinate teams.
• Apply quality, safety and environmental procedures.

Throughout the programme, learners receive personalised support with regular monitoring by the teaching team and progress reviews to tailor the learning to each individual’s needs. A work placement also enables learners to develop professional skills in a real-world setting. Skills are assessed progressively through role-plays, practical exercises, professional projects and assessments carried out throughout the course. Our teaching methodology prioritises a practical, work-focused approach: case studies, role-plays, practical scenarios and collaborative activities enable learning in conditions that closely mirror the real-world workplace.

This BTS has two options: option CO Tooling Design, which is further upstream from the industrialisation phase, and option POP Production Steering and Optimisation, which is further downstream. GRETA CFA offers a choice of these 2 options, which enable the broadest spectrum to be covered by providing the skills required for the needs of various plastics processing companies.
