Project MFG Community Competitions

Project MFG designs and executes tournament-style competitions across the country to demonstrate the abilities of new talent and collectively inspire a movement to restore America’s industrial base. 

Competitions feature single and integrated technologies such as welding and additive manufacturing. Challenges also include team competitions using multiple technologies to create a product that requires integrated manufacturing. All competitions test the student’s ability to think critically, collaborate and manage resources as well as apply required technologies. Check the list below for a list of Project MFG’s community and single competition.

Additive Manufacturing broadens our reach into communities by highlighting different manufacturing processes and skills needed in the manufacturing and defense industries today.

International Competitions

Clash of Trades, executed by Project MFG, is a skills competition series designed to inspire “moments that spark a movement” to restore the manufacturing industrial base. The competition demonstrates the problem-solving abilities and technological aptitudes requisite for success in manufacturing trades for the next generation workforce in integrated advanced manufacturing. The focus to date has been welders, machinists, programmers, mechanics, and fabricators.
