In the past, precision metal cutting was a monopoly of large factories — multi-ton industrial machines, dedicated workshops, expensive supporting facilities, and professional teams made it out of reach for small and medium R&D enterprises. But today, desktop metal cutting machines are changing everything: they're small enough to sit on an ordinary office desk, and their price has dropped from hundreds of thousands to tens of thousands of RMB, delivering "industrial-grade precision" right into the hands of R&D engineers.
For SMB R&D teams, rapid prototyping is the critical step from drawing to physical part. Why is the desktop cutter becoming the R&D team's "accelerator"? Here are five key advantages.
