Titanium Orthotic Components. TrueMill Case Study

"Miniature machining with TrueMill® means tool breakage is no longer an issue." says Peter R. Boucher, President, 3V Precision Machining, Inc.

Small parts require small tools, which require minimal tool presure. Every time a cutter goes into a corner, it dies a little bit more, until ultimately fails. This forces manufacturers to machine with overly-conservative depths and speeds. TrueMill makes that problem go away. You can machine at agressive parameters because you control the tool load threshold.
