Daigle, worked with Dunwoody Youth Career Awareness Program (YCAP) students to design and build coasters using Solidworks design software and Haas CNC machines.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe goal of the project was to get YCAP students interested in manufacturing from design to build,\u201d said Daigle. \u201cIt worked so well we decided to use this project as an entry for the CNC Student Project competition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A total of four awards were given at the conference for outstanding CNC projects. Dunwoody brought 100 sample coasters with next year\u2019s conference dates to give out to attendees.<\/p>\n<p>Daigle said conference attendees shared positive comments about the project and were happy to take home a memento.<\/p>\n<p>The prize for winning was a $2,000 Haas CNC simulator that allows students to debug code before entering the lab to make parts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith the increased enrollment in the Machine Tool program this will allow even more students access to a CNC control panel outside of their normal lab hours,\u201d Daigle said.<\/p>\n<p>The 2014 HTEC National Conference will be hosted at Dunwoody.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_665\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-665\" style=\"width: 392px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/dunwoody.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/YCAP-CNC-Group-.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-665  \" title=\"YCAP CNC Group\" src=\"http:\/\/dunwoody.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/YCAP-CNC-Group-.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"392\" height=\"266\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-665\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Prior to the conference the Machine Tool Technology program, led by Senior Machine Tool Technology Instructor Brian Nelsen and Dean of Robotics &amp; Manufacturing E.J.
