00:00 Intro

00:18 Avoid complex shapes. Here, we'll discuss why complex shapes could be problematic for CNC production runs and we'll provide tips on how you can avoid them.

00:43 Minimise sharp corners. Here, we'll discuss why sharp corners should be reduced for CNC production runs and we'll provide tips on how you can avoid them.

01:22 Ensure uniform wall thickness. In this third section, we'll discuss why it's important to ensure uniform wall thickness for parts during CNC machining production runs.

01:29 Limit tight tolerances. Next, we'll go over why limiting tight tolerances is important when manufacturing volume CNC parts. We'll also provide tips on how you can avoid them.

02:10 Reduce parts. In this fifth section, we'll go over the importance of reducing the amount of components in an end-use part. We'll provide tips on how to do this most effectively.

02:41 Make modular designs. In this final section, you'll learn why it's important to create modular design.
