As part of the Territoire d’industrie project, the Paul-Constans high school, in Montluçon (Allier), received innovative machines. He inaugurated his FabLab in the presence of numerous business representatives and its financiers.
The Paul-Constans high school in Montluçon introduced its FabLab to companies in the area with which it regularly collaborates, as well as to the financiers of the Territoire d’industrie project (costing 800,000 euros, 60% subsidized by the State , with the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region and Montluçon community), Tuesday April 30.
With three 3D printing machines, scanners and a laser welding machine, the FabLab for the machining and boilermaking sector is complete. The establishment is now waiting for machines which will be used in the field of chemistry.
“We are three-quarters of the way through the Territory of Industry project.”
Jean-Luc Héraud (principal of Paul-Constans high school)
High school students in professional baccalaureate, BTS students and teachers have been working on these machines since December. The objective for the establishment is to reach as many sectors as possible, especially since it is one of the only ones in the academy to have this type of machines.

“This FabLab serves the region”
During the inauguration, businesses in the area were able to benefit from demonstrations.
“The idea is that machining and boilermaking companies in the basin know our training and equipment resources. We must show them that this FabLab serves the region and not just the students. This is also why Montluçon community participated in the financing of the project.

Those in charge were indeed curious, particularly those who already take high school students on internships. “We bring machines to the territory that they do not have. We do not have industrial production capacity but we can allow them to create and test prototypes before investing significant sums in projects. “companies will be able to use our machines in complete autonomy”, adds the principal.
