This beauty is our Part of the Week. Let's take a look!
The action (2-axis milling) and the material (POM plastic) are what's happening, functionally.
But the real action is that sometimes an experienced machinist can produce a perfect part faster than it takes to create the CAM program and then run it on the latest and greatest multi-axis CNC machine.
Then again, sometimes a living fossil IS the right solution for the job! (Ahem -- please don’t show this post to our beloved, not at all petrified machinist.)
The art is in matching the part and quantity with the team members' skillsets and the deadline for the customer.
EMI is fortunate to live in both the world of historical machining, and the world of the next-gen CNC capabilities.
Each week we will feature something we've been working on. We hope you'll find these posts informative.
