For decades, buyers have viewed sheet metal fabrication as a highly stable industry. Demand has been consistent, processes well understood, and supply chains relatively predictable. Today, however, that stability comes with new pressures. Rising material costs, tighter delivery timelines, and increasing technical complexity are forcing defence manufacturers to rethink how and
High-speed CNC spindles have had a meaningful impact on modern CNC milling, helping manufacturers meet growing demands for speed, precision, and consistency. As production requirements increase and part designs become more complex, spindle performance plays a much larger role in overall machining efficiency than it once did. Milling at higher
CNC machining represents the pinnacle of technological advancement and accuracy. Yet, amidst the buzz of CNC machines and technical complexity, there’s an often overlooked but equally essential aspect: soft skills. While hard technical skills are visibly paramount, these more subtle interpersonal abilities are key in the fast-changing CNC machining industry.
CNC machining is an automated manufacturing process that improves a part’s precision, efficiency, and repeatability. It’s vital in modern manufacturing because it can produce complex shapes that would be nearly impossible to make by manual machining. But precision doesn’t start at the spindle. It begins with the material. Ethical
Ben Machine’s Supply Chain Disruption Strategies Purchasing managers across industries in Canada and beyond have been truly challenged by the supply chain disruptions brought about by the 2020 global pandemic. With clogged ports causing delays, hikes in raw materials threatening bottom lines, and break downs in established reliable supply chains,
