Every year, billions of complex metal parts are made, and many of them go through some form of post-processing. A variety of manufacturing aids are needed to facilitate or automate that post-processing. And that often creates its own set of challenges. For APG, those challenges often come down to one thing - speed. To win jobs, the company must be able to respond to bids quickly, create the tools for a particular job as fast as possible and get finished parts out the door, and do it all while making sure machine shop resources are available for both internal jobs and customer orders.
