Bantam Tools , the desktop CNC manufacturer, is launching Bantam Tools Turnkey Solutions. This CNC service gives designers, engineers and entrepreneurs the ability to turn designs into physical parts. Bantam Tools engineers will develop a process for machining parts using the Bantam Tools Desktop CNC Milling Machine based on customer needs and then directly provide this knowledge to customers. Afterwards, customers can machine these parts on their own. The goal is to empower Bantam Tools Desktop CNC Milling Machine users to mill with confidence.

The Bantam Tools Turnkey Solutions was set up to help companies make parts faster using the company’s Desktop CNC Milling Machine. The service gives designers, engineers and companies a shortcut when figuring out a process to mill on a CNC machine. Depending on a client’s needs, Bantam Tools will deliver items including work instructions for how to set up and run a job, a .BTP file that saves a job setup in the Bantam Tools software, a Fusion 360 file with vetted CAD model and CAM toolpaths, G-code files exported from a Fusion 360 file, expertly engineered custom fixturing (either designs or fabricated), finished part(s) and a list of suggested machine tooling and accessories for milling the part.

The company says its Turnkey Solutions program evolved from its customers wanting to perfect their designs. Bantam says that when it helped its customers get set up, those customers found greater success and were able to prototype and iterate on-site quickly and easily.
