The Digital Thread

With product development and manufacturing lead times constantly shortening, what can design engineers do to reduce the time and cost involved with making a mould tool?

Designing for plastic injection moulding is like raising teenagers—some parts (and some teens) are more challenging than others. But by following a few simple rules, even the most difficult of these challenges can be overcome (parenting aside).

We take a look at the different CNC design considerations when designing parts for milling and turning processes which can accelerate production and reduce your costs.
