CNC MASTERS–Inside of the Southwestern Illinois College mobile CNC trailer, Instructor Jerry Bonifield watches as Red Bud High School student Lucas Guebert is pictured setting up a mill to make a part he designed during the high school’s round of the CNC Masters Contest.
This month, a first of its kind, unique competition got underway in area high schools – the Masters of CNC Contest.
Based off of Project MFG, which has college level competitions, Southwestern Illinois College (SWIC) developed this competition for local high school students as a way to promote learning this trade skill to students and build interest.
