2024 STATE TECHNICAL STANDARDS • PAGE 43 CONTEST: CNC 5-AXIS MILLING, CONTEST: CNC 5-AXIS MILLING, LIMITED DEMO LIMITED DEMO CONTINUED CONTINUED COMPETITOR RESOURCE: Haas Automation is a sponsor of the SkillsusA CNC Machining Competitions. We are committed to providing materials for Regional and State competitions throughout the United States for the CNC Machining Competitions. In addition, we are providing a list of resources to help prepare students to enter the CNC Machining competitions and the workforce of our industry, feeling well-equipped for success. Please see the following pages for resources or visit our website at haascnc.com. About the Competition: Regional and State-level CNC Milling Programmer, CNC 2-Axis Turning, CNN 3-Axis Milling, competitions will test two major skills areas (1) a CNC theory test and (2) CAM programming, with optional scoring for Process Control, and Oral Professional Development Assessment CNC Theory Test: The CNC theory test is a set of multiple-choice questions closely related to the CNC subject area of focus for the competition, i.e., milling or turning. Programming: The programming portion of the competition will provide competitors with access to a part drawing, step model, and Process Plan. It is the competitor’s job to use the provided documents to complete a cAm program. If run, the program would produce a machined part that is in accordance with the Process Plan, collision-free, and accurate to the part drawing provided. The drawing will be complete with multiple views making it easy for competitors to visualize the part and understand its geometry. The Process Plan will provide setup instructions, a sequence of operations, and tool data. Contestant numbers must be used as the name for the cAm file. If this step is missed, the competitor will receive 0 points. Remember, save early, save often. Competitors will be provided with project documents mentioned above on the day of their competition, but competitors must provide the following items to compete successfully. • (Required) Laptop or PC with access to CAM software (Mastercam or Fusion360) • (Required) Pen or pencil for notes or written calculations • (Optional) Basic calculator Recommended Competitor Preparation Set yourself up for success by committing to continuous learning.
