Are you selecting the right materials for your CNC machined parts? You may be overlooking cost-effective alternatives that can satisfy part requirements.
4 Smart Ways to Reduce Weight in Aerospace Manufacturing
Weight reduction is an important consideration when designing and building parts for the aerospace industry. But engineers don’t always need to rely on sharp corners and tiny radii to meet these crucial specifications. The tooling required to machine unique geometries is often expensive and time-consuming—if it even exists at all.
Want Accurate Quotes? Avoid RFQs for Prototype and Production at the Same Time
When you’re requesting a quote for a prototype part, you may be tempted to ask your machine shop to provide a production quote simultaneously. Understandably, it can be helpful to know the cost of manufacturing larger quantities up front. But there’s one small (but often costly) problem:
The Value of Working with an ISO-Certified Machine Shop
Decrease the Cost of Manufacturing Your Part By Up to 50%
It’s no secret that one of the biggest factors in choosing a manufacturer is price. Engineers and buyers want low-cost parts (although a low-quality part has no value at all, regardless of the price). Manufacturers want to quote low enough to acquire the customer, but not so low that their business model doesn’t work.
