Purpose-built CNC router for STEM Racing car manufacture
The Denford MCR 100 is a purpose-built, desktop 3-axis CNC router for manufacturing STEM Racing cars in schools and colleges. Its compact footprint, fully enclosed interlocking guard and dedicated workholding fixture provide an accessible introduction to CNC machining and computer-aided manufacturing.
Designed specifically for STEM Racing—formerly F1 in Schools—the MCR 100 is supplied with VR CNC Milling operating software, QuickCAM Pro with STEM Racing Car Wizard, dedicated model-block workholding and a long-series cutting tool. Preset fixture offsets help simplify setup and enable students to turn their digital car designs into accurately manufactured race cars.
The MCR 100 is ideal for schools seeking a focused, cost-effective route into STEM Racing. For wider CNC projects and a broader choice of materials and fixtures, the Compact 1000 range is the more appropriate option

WHCIH MACHINE?
MCR 100 or Compact 1000
Choose the MCR 100 if your primary requirement is manufacturing STEM Racing cars. Its dedicated fixture, preset offsets and Car Wizard software provide a focused and accessible solution for schools entering the competition.
Choose the Compact 1000 if you require a more versatile educational CNC router for product design, prototyping, wood, plastics, acrylics and other curriculum projects. The Compact 1000 Pro also provides non-ferrous metal machining.
The MCR 100 is not designed for general-purpose CNC routing or metal machining.
