The winners represent nearly a dozen high schools, vocational schools, community colleges, colleges, and universities from throughout North America.
Each will receive a Hypertherm Powermax45 plasma cutting and gouging system, Hypertherm’s AWS SENSE approved “Plasma Cutting Technology: Theory and Practice” curriculum kit, and in-person training from a Hypertherm industrial cutting expert.
