In an era where "smart" and "fast" are the darlings of manufacturing buzzwords, we need to have an honest conversation about quality control.

As someone deeply embedded in the world of precision manufacturing at SICAM, I've watched the evolution of quality control from meticulous human inspection to AI-powered quality assurance – and not all that glitters is gold.

The ability of having complete control over the prototyping process, the freedom to iterate on designs at will, and the fun of seeing your CAD models materialize right before your eyes is an exciting concept.

But as with all good things, it’s important to realize the challenges that come with it and what to do next…
 

In the fast-paced world of mechanical design, the demand for rapid innovation is relentless.

Whether you’re working on the next big thing in aerospace, drones that carry packing, fine-tuning components for electric vehicles, or pushing the envelope in consumer goods, the pressure to iterate quickly and bring products to market faster than ever is real.
