Need proof? When an AI model is trained on AI generated data.

You can also break down larger parts (that would require more setups) into smaller parts that can then be assembled. ConclusionReducing CNC lead times is crucial for improving manufacturing efficiency and reducing costs.

Choose your materials wiselyRaw material frontSource: Fictiv Choosing the right material is another element that can reduce machining time.which reduces the time required for machining by using the most efficient tool paths and reducing the number of tool changes required.You can optimize these parameters to achieve your desired surface finish and accuracy while minimizing the machining time.

Design for manufacturability (DFM)DFM for CNC machining masterclassSource: Fictiv Probably the most influential and important thing you can do to reduce the lead time for your components is to correctly design for manufacturability.Consult with your manufacturing partner on your strategy to see which approach will make a net impact on lead time.

 Check out this Fictiv resource to learn more about simplifying your design: Our Complexity Quiz is a simple way to see how complex your part is (it only takes 30 seconds).

one of the main constraints of CNC machining is the lead time or the time it takes to receive a finished part.The researchers joined rigid segments with the tiny magnets-incorporated rigid segments to create their prototypes.

the geometries and functionalities of these robotic tools are limited by the inner diameter of the supporting catheter as well as the natural orifices and access ports of the human body.The researchers have created new minimally invasive surgical tools that allow for the introduction of huge things into the body through a little catheter.

This strategy can be further customized and implemented for a wide spectrum of tools for minimally invasive interventions.we present a class of magnetic soft-robotic chains (MaSoChains) that can self-fold into large assemblies with stable configurations using a combination of elastic and magnetic energies.
