Lean Machine is a metal fabrication job shop in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, specializing in custom machining with a 5-axis CNC mill. A job for a customer required Kurt vices to hold a component while the mill cut the part. To avoid collision between the mill head and the vice, the stock would have to be clamped 12-14 inches from the cutting area.<\/p>\n

This was not an acceptable option, as a cantilevered part takes longer to machine and results in a less accurate cut. The team considered building their own metal custom vice, however they could not justify the $6,000 price tag. With Markforged however, they were able to print custom vice\/soft jaw combinations at $1,500 a piece, saving weeks in the process.<\/p>\n
