Designing for Manufacturability: Tips to Optimize CNC and Laser Fabrication
Why it works: Many clients underestimate the impact of design decisions on cost and lead time. This article demonstrates your engineering expertise and ability to guide customers toward efficient designs.
Sample roadmap:
-
Explain the importance of reducing CNC operations (e.g., minimizing part flipping).
-
Design elements that reduce waste and setup costs.
-
Showcase real examples where smart design improved outcomes in your work.
