Competition Rules

National Machining League is a high-school level individual competition testing CNC/Machining skills up to 3-axis surfacing. Schools can submit up to 3 students to individually compete and challenge each student’s ability to think critically, manage resources, and demonstrate skill and competency in machining.

This competition consists of a qualifying round project where the top individuals will be invited to compete in a National Championship for a chance to win $10,000!

Project MFG Competitions are based on the design, manufacturing, assembly, and testing of a “product” through a competition platform in which individual students compete against one another to complete a trade project.
