Why the subtractive method?
Cycle time
The subtractive process is capable of producing smoother surface finish faster than the additive process.
Choice of materials

Price
Freedom from proprietary materials associated with additive prototyping process allows for lower operating costs and better value for our customers.
Functional models
Parts produced via subtractive process could be used as functional prototypes.
