The Prototype Paradox: Why CNC Turning for Small Batches Demands a Mindset Shift, Not Just a Machine
Forget what you know about high-volume production. CNC turning for small-batch prototypes introduces a unique set of challenges—from toolpath strategy to material handling—that can make or break a project’s budget and timeline. This article reveals a counterintuitive approach to workflow planning, backed by a case study where we slashed setup time by 40% and reduced per-part cost by 22% for a critical aerospace component.
