2 million) prize every year for the next 10 years to researchers that drive progress in critical areas of AI.

Design features to be standardized and machined with standard tools from standard materialsPart with standard threaded holesSource: Fictiv Designs requiring only standard tools and materials help reduce lead times by reducing the time required for tool changes and material procurement or handling.and machining experts provide DFM feedback to optimize your designs for manufacturing and reduce your lead times.

so optimizing your material selection accordingly will reduce the time it takes to machine your parts.The best practice is to involve CNC manufacturing experts in the design process to ensure that your design is optimized for the machining process and can be produced efficiently.These optimizations are made relatively simple with modern CNC machines that are automated and can perform multiple operations in a single cycle.

we routinely manufacture even the most complex parts at ridiculously fast speeds—2-5X faster than your average machine shop.You can reduce labor requirements by designing parts that can be machined with minimal manual intervention to reduce lead times and labor costs.

Reduce complexity: simplify designsSimplifying your designs helps reduce CNC lead times by minimizing the number of operations required to produce your part—complex designs with intricate features often require multiple operations and setups.
