From manufacturing
Every manufacturing job asks for different choices.
From precision machining and engineering plastics to complex assemblies. Explore the questions that decide process planning, manufacturability and cost.
All cases
- Wire EDMIn wire EDM the program is often the estimate.Process: Wire EDM on supplied workBatch size: One-off and small batchRole: Owner and programmerRead the case
- Engineering plasticsIn plastics the requirements come before the route.Process: Milling, turning, mill-turnBatch size: Small batch, many variantsRole: Manufacturing engineerRead the case
- AssembliesOne assembly in one request.Process: Sheet metal, welding, machiningBatch size: One-off and small batchRole: Cost engineerRead the case
- High-mix machiningFrom rule of thumb to cost line.Process: 3- and 5-axis milling, turningBatch size: One-off to repeat workRole: Manufacturing and cost engineerRead the case
- Turning and millingNew parts with no history. Priced line by line.Process: Turning, 3- to 5-axis millingBatch size: One-off to large seriesRole: Cost engineerRead the case
- High-tech modulesPart cost as a building block.Process: Milling, turning, sheet metal, assemblyBatch size: Small batches, many variantsRole: Cost engineerRead the case
- Prototypes and custom workThe estimate next to the machinist's call.Process: Turning, 5-axis simultaneous millingBatch size: Prototype to small batchRole: Shop floorRead more
