We don't care if the part takes 20% extra time to run The object is to have all the tools loaded and to use model aware - FBM to program. I'd like to have at least 40 tools maybe as many as 90-120 (see next point) I'd like to move to a 3+2 high speed VMC - fast spindle (aluminium with small tools) (nails the cross bore issues) We have a VF1 and Mastercam (used by extracting curves and machining profiles and pockets) Our parts are prizmatic and optical, cross bore alignment to perpendicualr faces is critical. We "want" to be able to make part A version 1, switch to Part B, finish B, and then immediately make Part A version 2, then make Part C or perhaps another Part B version iteration. We "want" to make 2-3 iterations of a part in a day.
