By taking advantage of the low-cost design software and new easy-to-use technology of CNC machining seen in Tormach's CNC milling machines, many new manufacturing enterprises have been started by individuals with a very low investment, but who may also need to access advanced expertise from time-to-time.
"It seemed like a natural extension of our mission," said Tormach CEO Greg Jackson.
"With the introduction of the PCNC 1100 mill, we dramatically reduced the cost of getting into CNC manufacturing.
What we found was an interesting mix of customers, some were veteran engineers or machinists looking to get a low cost mill, while others were entrepreneurs looking to get into CNC manufacturing.
The obvious thing to do was to offer a program to put their skills and needs together".
The PCNC Manufacturing Consultants have no direct relationship with Tormach, Jackson said, but they have 'first hand' experience with the Tormach CNC milling machines.
These consultants are available on an hourly, bid, or contract basis to advise on CNC-related manufacturing systems.
Consultations can range from very small projects, such as a simple G-code creation for a single part, to mapping out a set of full-scale manufacturing procedure to build a complex product.
