From Inspection To Delivery: Safeguarding Quality With Enhanced Packaging
You outsource your CNC honing or other machining to a third-party specialist, you need absolute confidence that your machined components will meet exacting specifications, with no deviation from the exceptional quality for which your business is known. Outsourcing honing is a cost-effective and logical decision that reduces your long-term expenses and protects your brand’s reputation for superior products; therefore, it’s vital that your sub-contract partner matches your commitment to quality.

Manufacturing Efficiency: Key Factors To Consider At The RFQ Stage
In manufacturing processes, particularly those that create highly precision parts for the medical, automotive, or aerospace industries, efficiency is essential to ensure the timely delivery of high quality products. The Request for Quotation (RFQ) stage is a key element of the manufacturing process, not only because it provides customers with valuable information about lead times and costs, but also because it can significantly impact the manufacturing process.

The recent discovery in Israel of a 3,500-year-old body which had undergone trepanation – the drilling of a hole in the skull to relieve head pain – is one of many examples of this primitive medical procedure that have been discovered by archaeologists. Fortunately, modern science has equipped doctors with the knowledge and skills to treat patients more safely, leaving trepanning to precision engineers in the oil and gas, machinery and heavy equipment, manufacturing, metal production and distribution industries.
