About the competition

The CNC milling and turning competitions are two separate competitions that prepare you for industry by putting you in the role of the CNC machinist. Competitors will work to a set brief and use CNC machine tools to cut, drill, shape and finish products and components used in engineering and manufacturing.

Competitors will be assessed on the following criteria:

• Manufacturing components
• Selecting and setting the appropriate holding devices and tooling
• Reading engineering drawings and converting these into machining programmes
