CGTech Invited to Chinese Numerical Control Competition (CNCC) as Special VIP Guest
CGTech was invited as a special guest to the Third Chinese Numerical Control Competition (CNCC) in Dalian, China. Thousands of NC programmers from around China competed at local and province levels for a chance to be one of 607 competitors at CNCC.
The Chinese Labor Minister and many other national and provincial government leaders attended the ceremony and the event is covered by national newspapers and television newscasts. “Obviously, the Chinese government is taking manufacturing very seriously,” said CGTech’s President Jon Prun. “To get an idea of what the opening ceremony looked like, think back to the Beijing Olympics. This event was only slightly smaller in scale.”
The testing is broken into two main sections. The first is a seven hour machine operation test. Each contestant must machine his or her part correctly on a machine tool. The second part of the test is a three hour software exam that is broken into three parts: CAD design, NC programming, and a VERICUT exam.
