Students will be fully supported in the safe and correct use of industrial machines and hand tools and will learn valuable engineering skills which will enable them to design and manufacture prototype components to individual or group specifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As well as the latest manual lathes, milling machines and drilling machines the workshop has a range of equipment to support automated machining processes such as CNC machinery and laser cutting machines. To compliment this the workshop has its own 3D printer room where students can use the latest professional printers to manufacture engineering components using Carbon fibre or Kevlar filaments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li
