Adopting 5-axis machining isn’t just a tech upgrade—it’s a competitive necessity. Fewer setups. Shorter cycle times. Better part quality. But success depends on smart CAM strategies—from accurate simulation to controlling simultaneous motion. Read more: ctemag.com/articles/a-gui…

@sahill_og It’s stressful

POV: Software developers coming to the office ready to prompt Claude Code 5 times and call it a day. 😂

@panditdhamdhere Is this your origin story?

White hat hacker life Find a $10M bug, report it responsibly Get a $500 bounty Watch the black hat who found it next get $292 M This is fine.

@FatherPhi It was so exited to play another round too

@loyalmoses 😤

This is the REAL reason behind the 3D printing bans. The corporations that hold manufacturing contracts, charging $5,644 for a $10 (or less) part, aren’t going to let 3D printing take that from them. Micro-manufacturing in the hands of the average human is disruptive.
