University of Vigo Student Completes Engineering Placement at Palbit
For four weeks, Palbit welcomed Miguel Moledo Paredes, an engineering student from the University of Vigo (Spain), as part of an international academic programme.
Working alongside Palbit's engineering team, Miguel followed the development, manufacturing and validation of prototype cutting tools for titanium machining, designed for aerospace applications.
Learning through real industrial experience
At Palbit, we believe engineering is best learned by combining academic knowledge with real manufacturing experience.
During the programme, Miguel took part in daily engineering discussions, observed how design choices are adjusted once they meet the realities of manufacturing, and followed the testing stages that determine whether a prototype is ready to move forward.
Experiencing an industrial environment firsthand allows students to better understand engineering processes, manufacturing technologies and the importance of precision in demanding industrial applications.

"My time at Palbit was a great experience. Not only professionally, where I was able to take part in a real engineering project, solving practical problems that don't appear in the book, but also personally. The working atmosphere is very family-like, and I thank them, especially Tomás Aires, for including me in it from day one."
