In Project MFG’s International Competition, student teams from around the world compete in a machining challenge built to mirror a real production floor. Teams of two to four students per school collaborate under pressure, navigating time and budget constraints while running 5-axis equipment and defending their work in front of industry judges. Last season, six countries went head to head on the trade show floor at EMO Hannover in Germany.
This season, the competition moves to TTK in Estonia, bringing the next generation of manufacturing professionals together on a global stage.
