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:
