Prototype Faster, More Affordably with Personal CNC
Most product development firms outsource everything that needs machining, from prototypes, to jigs and test fixtures, and even the manufacturing run itself. This approach works, but it can be slow and expensive. In today’s competitive landscape, successful design teams need to be responsive and agile.
That’s where a Tormach PCNC mill can help. Tormach’s Personal series of CNC mills are unique in the CNC machining world. They are positioned at a price point and performance level that makes in-house CNC a realistic option for engineers and product designers looking for affordable prototyping capabilities or low-volume manufacturing solutions.
