Solid Carbide Drills are Designed for Manufacturability

Fabricating & Metal Work

Answers can be found at the computer-aided design (CAD)-to-component phases of manufacturing. CAD-to-component can refer to three stages of manufacturing. In doing so, it is possible to develop a tool prototype quickly, having it ready in the morning and with R&D for testing in the afternoon.

Waterjet Cutting for Multiple Materials

Fabricating & Metal Work

That makes it a cost-effective choice for projects ranging from iterative prototypes to low-to-medium volume production. Third, because waterjet cutters are computer-controlled, a fabricator can use an engineer’s computer-aided design (CAD) file to create a computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) file that controls the machine with precision.
