The "Hoffmann Group" company presented tools and materials on the topic of "Mechanized Cycle." The Siemens company, with its "Sinumerik" technology, presented the strengths of the School-Business relationship.

The day ended with a joint exhibition of the Salesianos Deusto Center and the "Beitxu Studios" company on virtual reality applied to CNC programming of the "Steel-tooling Machine." With this edition, there have now been three training days for FP center teachers that the Salesian "SSM" Province has organized in recent years.
