RFQ to shipped parts in 5 hours.
A schedule-critical part required DFM changes, CNC programming, machine setup, five machining operations, inspection, and shipment—all within a five-hour elapsed window.
The job needed engineering judgment before machining could begin.
The incoming component could not simply be loaded into a machine and run. Manufacturing changes were required first, followed by new programming and complete setup. The process ultimately required five separate machining operations.
Manufacturability changes were addressed immediately.
A machining process was created around the revised part.
Workholding, tools, offsets, and execution were prepared for the job.
Multiple machining steps were completed in sequence before final inspection.

Schedule-critical low-volume work
Speed is useful only when the work is controlled.
Rapid manufacturing is not just about machine availability. It depends on quickly understanding the part, making sound manufacturing decisions, creating the process, and executing without losing control of quality or schedule.
