Problem to Solution Traditionally it has been financially uneconomical to manufacture low quantities of unique parts. The immense costs involved producing tools for injection molding jigs or the huge costs of 5-axis CNC mills have made if prohibitively expensive to reproduce broken or damaged parts. This often results in the otherwise functional machine being deemed a loss. In more recent years, 3D printing and 3D...
