Not for the clumsy – Apprenticeship as a Glass Apparatus Maker
Did your dexterity impress even the kindergarten teachers? Then you might have a talent for glass apparatus making. During your apprenticeship as a glass apparatus maker, everything revolves around this valuable, yet fragile material. You ensure that technical drawings or manufacturing templates become crystal-clear reality. To do this, you select suitable types of glass, provide the appropriate processing tools, and then produce the desired end product. To ensure that the customer's wishes have been fulfilled, you carry out quality control after production. Repairing or grinding glass products can also be part of your apprenticeship as a glass apparatus maker. Which products you manufacture depends on the industry sector of the company you work for. Glass products are used, for example, in medicine, pharmaceuticals, and laboratories.
