Case Study: bmi CAD achieves 18x faster, 75x lower-cost CNC lathe automation with Markforged

bmi CAD cuts CNC lathe bar puller costs 75x with Markforged

bmi CAD faced the challenge of expensive and non-specific conventional CNC lathe bar pullers, which were a costly workaround for automating stock feeding. They turned to Markforged's 3D printing technology to find a more effective solution.

By using Markforged to print unique bar pullers for each stock type, bmi CAD created a cost-effective and stock-specific solution. The implementation resulted in a tool that was 18 times faster and 75 times lower cost than previous methods, leveraging the strength of Onyx and fiberglass materials.
