Critical Issues Member Forum Call – New Product & Business Model Innovation
Abstract
Investment in aerospace and defense accelerated the product development timeline. Protolabs’ quick-turn machining capabilities needed to evolve with the industry now needing more complex parts in shorter lead times. In response, the digital manufacturer expanded its quick-turn CNC capabilities, delivering parts inclusive of tighter tolerances, added precision, and secondary operations in as fast as four days.
Go behind the scenes of this year-plus long project to learn more about the process, opportunities, and challenges along the way. Attendees will gain insights on:
- Best practices in pragmatically responding to customer demands
- Implementing new processes on the manufacturing floor that align with enterprise-level strategy
- Connecting digital processes to the manufacturing floor for ultimate efficiencies
