As a general rule, simplicity is the name of the game in mechanical part design. But we know that sometimes, complexity is required to get the functionality you need. That’s why we’re excited to share our improved CNC milling and drilling capabilities.
We have increased diameter-to-depth ratios for CNC milling and drilling — which you can see in full below — so you can now get an instant quote for more complex geometries than ever before. That means fewer DFM warnings and part revisions for you to manage, along with a broader range of components you can order through the Fictiv platform!
