Many CNC machine shops focus on the high-volume production market. They search for orders yielding 10,000 parts per year or more. However, Ben Machine is differentiated from them as we focus on high mix, low volume work that emphasizes the front work of setup and programming. In this article, we
In industries like aerospace, cleanrooms are crucial for manufacturing, providing a controlled environment with ultra-low airborne particle levels. Since even the smallest contaminants can lead to catastrophic failures, cleanrooms help ensure that manufactured parts meet the industry’s high standards. The Role of Cleanrooms in Aerospace Engineering The aerospace industry relies
It’s nearly impossible to overstate aluminum’s role in CNC machined electronics. After all, CNC machining helps to manufacture components for a wide range of everyday gadgets, from smartphones to satellites, and many of the components in these products are made from aluminum. Aluminum’s versatility and machinability are only two reasons
CNC machining is an automated manufacturing process that improves a part’s precision, efficiency, and repeatability. It’s vital in modern manufacturing because it can produce complex shapes that would be nearly impossible to make by manual machining. But precision doesn’t start at the spindle. It begins with the material. Ethical
Ben Machine’s Supply Chain Disruption Strategies Purchasing managers across industries in Canada and beyond have been truly challenged by the supply chain disruptions brought about by the 2020 global pandemic. With clogged ports causing delays, hikes in raw materials threatening bottom lines, and break downs in established reliable supply chains,

Ben Machine has become quite familiar with Canada’s Industrial and Technological Benefits Policy. It was designed to achieve several ends, the most notable being to:
It’s no secret that there are serious military actions taking place between major players on the global stage. While state-sponsored cyber attacks are nothing new,
It’s coming. Next year, Ben Machine and all other defence machining companies will need to work under the guidelines of the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification
Our continued success at Ben Machine depends entirely on our ability to take care of our customers. While that obviously translates to our ability to
New product development is one of those things that seems to take forever, and there’s just no way around it. It’s one of those “haste
It’s time to roll out a new product. Your engineers are working on the details of the design now, laying out every dimension on every
Your average person on the street can’t walk into a CNC machining shop and run a 5-axis CNC mill. Today’s CNC machines are incredibly complicated.
Every part of every product has a job to do, and how well it does that job depends on several factors, starting with what it’s
The Army figured out long ago that supply and logistics is both complicated and important enough they created the Quartermaster Corps to keep soldiers supplied.
New technologies are continuing to produce new lightweight metal alloys for the military and aerospace industries. Artificial intelligence is developing new metal chemistries and
