i2R CNC

Bringing Affordable, Scalable CNC Technology to UK Schools? Last month, i2R CNC attended Bett Global in London, connecting with educators from around the world and showcasing how our machines can transform learning. One of the biggest takeaways? Many UK Multi-Academy Trusts were unaware that this technology is both affordable and accessible.? Just one machine can inspire up to 1,800 students over its lifetime in a single school. That’s an investment of only ￡10 per student—a small cost for a huge impact.? If just 5% of UK secondary schools adopted this technology, we could equip thousands of students with vital industry-ready skills, helping to bridge the skills gap and strengthen the future workforce.? This solution is ready to scale across the UK—quickly, affordably, and with real impact. Let’s work together to bring hands-on, future-focused learning into more classrooms.?

Empowering the Next Generation of #Entrepreneurs and #Makers. At i2R CNC, our small-format machine technology is not just about developing industry-ready skills—it’s about unlocking entrepreneurial #potential. By providing students with hands-on experience in #machining, #design, and #manufacturing, we are giving them the tools to innovate, create, and build their own futures. Across the world, particularly in North America, young entrepreneurs have used this technology to launch businesses, producing products for local communities and industries. The UK has the talent and creativity to do the same, but we must do more to promote #entrepreneurship among students. Our technology offers a low-cost, accessible route for students from all backgrounds to turn their ideas into reality, start businesses, and contribute to the economy. We believe in inspiring the next generation of makers and business owners—because the future isn’t just about jobs, it’s about innovation and opportunity. Let’s work together to make entrepreneurship part of every student’s journey.
