Abstract: Intelligent manufacturing is the main direction of innovation and development of the manufacturing industry in the future, which puts forward higher requirements for colleges and universities to cultivate the practical ability of metalworking for college students. Aiming at the current situation of metalworking training in our school, we will conduct an in-depth study on the cultivation of college students' metalworking practice and innovation ability under the background of "Intelligent Manufacturing in China". In order to solve the problems of outdated and single teaching content in metalworking practice, lack of innovation, low learning enthusiasm of students, insufficient knowledge expansion, and lack of hands-on links for innovative practice, we explored how to formulate a teaching plan that meets the school’s reality and enrich the teaching content, establish a metalworking training and innovation practice service platform, improve students' innovative thinking and practical ability, and cultivate more talents for the realization of "Intelligent Manufacturing in China".

Key words: Intelligent Manufacturing in China, Innovative practice, Personnel training
