Mastercam Announces 2021 Wildest Parts Competition Winners



Mastercam has announced the 2021 Wildest Parts Competition winners. The Wildest Parts Competition is held each year to encourage student interest and participation in manufacturing. The competition is open to students at the secondary and postsecondary levels to create parts demonstrating creativity and technical skill using Mastercam. The Wildest Parts Competition also has a division for professional Mastercam users to enter parts they created.

In the Secondary Division, Wes Bruski from Capital High School, MT, submitted a domino and dice cup game set. He made the prototypes out of wood, then machined the final set. Second place went to Cadogan Wheat from Hamilton High School, MT, who designed a model of a padlock.

In the Postsecondary Division, Gus Bronk from Washington State University submitted a keyboard. The main case is machined from a Boeing Surplus Forged billet of 2000 series aluminum from the 1970s. Jim Courtney from Erie Community College, NY, placed 2nd with a working carousel, and Jonathan Hughes from Erie Community College came in 3rd with a marble machine.

In the Teams Division, Wrindy Hauser's team from Grand Rapids Community College, MI, submitted Thor's hammer. The team members belong to a machinist apprenticeship program at the college. Jiao-Hao Wun's teammates from Vanung University, Taiwan, placed 2nd with their modern museum. Ming-Yang Chen's team from Vanung University placed 3rd with a robot.

In the Professional Division, Andy Beach from Grand Rapids Community College submitted Ironman, which was created to test out a brand new UMC 500 Haas Mill where Beach works. The machine was the first 5-axis machine installed at Grand Rapids Community College. David Berry, from Southwestern Illinois College, placed 2nd with a dodecahedron of Mastercam toolpaths, and PUTEN PLUS came in 3rd with a wireless charging disc.

Every participant received a Mastercam t-shirt, and the winning entrants receive cash awards, certificates and other prizes for entering the competition.
