The Marine Design Centre hosted a challenging day of competition earlier this month with 10 young designers competing in the Northern heat of the World Skills UK Engineering CADD competition.

We are delighted to announce that the region will dominate the national finals in London later in the month with 3 out of 5 finalists from the North East.

Congratulations to all competitors for a superb showing, in which 5 North East competitors finished in the national top 10. Congratulations in particular to top 3 finishers and final qualifiers Tom Adams (of Unison), Rhys Long (Wellstream) and Chris Bradley (Miller UK).

Rhys along with Tom and Chris now go forward to the final in London on the 23/24 June 2009.

The competition tested competitors' performance using CAD to produce 2D technical drawings, 3D models and 3D assemblies. In addition, higher level competitors were required to produce animations including GDT (Geometrical Dimensioning and Tolerancing) in technical drawings.

The competition was organised in the Northern Region by Joyce Maughan of TDR Training Ltd.

Highest scoring competitors in the UK final will ultimately represent the UK in international competition.

Well Done Joyce~ An exceptional event.
