“It's an absolutely minuscule part you can barely see with the naked eye.”
MTDCNC's Rowan Easter-Robinson visits Smithstown in Shannon, Ireland, where a Citizen L12 Type VII Swiss-type lathe with integrated laser cutting is producing tiny, precision-critical medical components.
With plans to roll out the process across twelve identical machines, see how Smithstown is combining laser machining, clever vacuum parts-catching and tight process control to prepare for production on a massive scale.
