Planning 5-axis machining ops in moldmaking is like playing chess, you need to think 5 steps ahead. Steve Michon and the Zero Tolerance team know it very well.

In this episode, Steve shares valuable advice about how to optimize setup to complete as many operations at once, how to look at the best place to hold and mount fixtures, how to utilize the same fixture setup in multiple different machines, and how to save templates and procedures for fixturing that will be easier to do next time around.
