CNC machines can be adapted for all educational levels, from primary schools to universities and vocational training centres. Their versatility lies in the ability to tailor projects, software, and complexity to the learners' age and skill level.

CNC machine tools are versatile and benefit a range of subjects across STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), vocational training, and creative disciplines.

CNC machines are popular in schools, colleges, and universities to teach students about manufacturing, engineering, and programming. 

They provide hands-on experience in designing and creating real-world components, developing skills for careers in engineering and technology.

This combination of practical training and cutting-edge technology makes Denford machines an excellent fit for the education sector.

CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control. 

It refers to the automated control of machining tools and equipment using a computer. 

CNC machines are widely used in education and manufacturing to create precise parts and prototypes by following programmed instructions.

Key Features of CNC:

1. Automation: CNC machines execute pre-programmed sequences without manual intervention.
2. Precision: They produce high-accuracy components consistently.
3. Versatility: Used for cutting, milling, drilling, turning, and more across various materials like metal, wood, plastic, and composites.

The only required purchase, to get started, is the STEM Racing Model Car Kit; this contains the material needed to make the car chassis, along with wheels, axles, and more. 

All of the official STEM Racing kit can be purchased from Denford, with the smaller items (spares and consumables) available from the Shop 

The race equipment, such as racetrack and wind tunnel, are optional, and made to order.  You can check out the full range of STEM Racing Packages in our Products section.

Schools can register their interest on the official STEM Racing website https://www.stemracing.com/

They will receive information about resources, equipment, and training workshops needed to participate.
