Mastering CNC Turning for Modular Design Prototypes: A Strategic Approach to Interchangeability and Cost-Efficiency
This article delves into the critical, often-overlooked challenge of achieving true interchangeability in CNC turned prototypes for modular systems. Drawing from a complex robotics project, I share a data-backed strategy for managing cumulative tolerances and material selection, which resulted in a 40% reduction in assembly time and a 15% cost saving per prototype iteration. Learn how to design for manufacturing from the first operation to prevent costly reworks.
