When batch machining or milling thin flat material, vacuum is a great way to hold your parts. Unfortunately, milling completely through a workpiece on a typical vacuum chuck can result in the loss of suction or much worse. What if you could eliminate the need for gaskets AND not have to worry about damaging your table?

How much does it cost to make a CNC machined part? The answer depends on a number of variables like the material type, part quantity, dimensional tolerances, lead time, and surface finish. We demonstrate this using the two shock bottom brackets we CNC machined for the landing gear on the DarkAero 1 prototype. They were made in house on our Tormach from 7075-T6 aluminum. Quoting tools from Xometry offer a quick and easy way to see the cost of machining these parts if we were to outsource them. We uploaded a 3D CAD file of the shock bottom bracket to Xometry and then looked at the instant quote numbers to see where the cost might land in production.
