I’ve seen parts come off a CNC machine that look flawless, until they don’t fit. That’s what happens when you assume “machined” means “precise.” That’s

A design lead once told me they picked injection molding for a pilot run because it “felt more professional.” The irony? They only needed 200

I remember the first time I ordered a CNC part. I asked for a smooth finish. But when the part arrived, it had rough lines

I remember watching an EDM machine for the first time. It didn’t cut. It didn’t grind. It just… sparked. There was no contact. No noise.
