A new system has been developed to reduce the setup time for CNC mills. The challenge is to machine short runs on CNC machines without loosing your possible profit to set-up.
Large production runs unfortunately have been outsourced overseas lately. Short production runs never will be and most manufacturers would prefer to buy at home if they were able to order small quantities at a good price.
Tool Wall was developed with this in mind and set-up time was reduced by as much as 90%.
The software that makes that possible is free to download.
