Same goes for tooling, workholding, etc etc etc.
@zanehengsperger It’s easier to improve the performance of easy-to-buy machines than it is to wait for the perfect machine

One of the most common questions we get about our engines is what fuel they run on. They run in Spite.

Toolpaths should be a record of purpose, not a pattern of chance. They should tastefully highlight the part geometry without distracting from the form or overpowering the design.

Extremely. Half my career has been dedicated to workholding, including a brief stint at Orange Vise doing Product Development. It's the backbone of this entire industry and nobody talks about it.
Work holding is under appreciated

LFG!
We’re putting on an event for machinists and shop owners up in Mammoth this April 2 days of skiing, panel discussions, workshops, and an awesome list of (yet to be announced) speakers. April 13-16, dm me if you want in

Do not help your suppliers. They will hate you. Even with explicit instruction, it’s easier and faster for them to do the work themselves than to have you… help.
Alright machinists, tell me about sending files with my own CAM path. I have a feeling that I know what the answer is going to be, but does it decrease the potential price? Does it make your life easier?

All the talk about Isogrid this week on here reminded me I never posted a full photo of the Demonstrator Engine I made in my garage this summer. Fast forward a few months and we now have a fully functioning engine factory, minus a little Isogrid.
