Incremental forming is a new metal forming process which can be used with great success for manufacturing sheet metal parts with very complex shapes, being very suitable as special manufacturing process for the automotive industry. Some knowledge is provided at under-graduate level at manufacturing engineering programmes, but usually it lacks the integrated approach in order to train a specialist for incremental forming. At under-graduate level, special chapters were introduced in some specific courses. The paper presents some details about how the competences required for manufacturing engineers to manage the industrial implementation of the incremental forming process are provided to the students at "Lucian Blaga" University of Sibiu.
