When to get new Machines?!

Here is an article written about M5 by Heidenhain

Excerpt:

M5 also was responsible for micro-molding tiny prototype components on their patented Desktop Micro Molding Platform for a Medtronics part for pacemakers where tiny wires will be run through before implantation in a human heart. “Here .004”-size wires will run through eight .005” diameter holes,” explained Baklund. “And the parts cannot be touched by human hands in order to keep it sterile, hence the importance of this mechanical automation and the need for these super high accuracy machines.”
