is to leverage additive manufacturing to reduce maintenance cycle times, curb supply chain backlogs, and place manufacturing capabilities at or near the point of need. The DoD has high interest to make more 3D printed parts, primarily due to the supply chain issues that have become a major bottleneck,” Bredael said.

Additionally, evolving downstream operations (such as decorating, assembly and packaging), process changes (including alterations in equipment or the work environment) and supply chain challenges can also lead to scope creep. Multiple sampling events occur. The first verifies mold function, often without customers.

It also reduced maintenance costs, tool costs (30-40%) and tooling lead times (20-30%). This is unfortunate since tool production — especially hard/metal tools — can have long lead times and add considerable cost to the bottom line. Similarly, for thermosets, heating lines can be created to speed curing times.

It also provides significant advantages in terms of lead time, cost savings, and operational efficiency. Control Lead Times One of the most powerful reasons to modify a standard end mill is the reduced lead time. Your modified end mill starts with a standard to keep the lead time low and the quality high.
