Even though DMC achieves lowest cost/highest quality outcomes for the market niche’ it operates in, there is always room for continual improvement. By working with OEM engineers, DMC has been able to add features, eliminate operations or value engineer greater savings and benefits by recommending design changes for new or legacy parts alike.

When machining a complex part, it is most likely that the part will be machined on either side creating an Op. 10 and Op. 20 within the machine as it is transferred from one spindle to the next. Since throughput is regulated by the slowest cycle time on either spindle, balancing out the work load can improve cost savings or new features can be added without impacting overall production rates. Consolidating the functions of multiple parts into one, such as was done for the patented Storz fitting, eliminates inventory, assembly and set-ups thereby reducing product development, manufacturing investments and lead times. As designers/engineers strive to develop the next generation of products, DMC can help remove costs by reducing part counts in assemblies, optimize performance, function and manufacturing costs even before the blueprint is finalized.
