[QUOTE="Hdtoolmkr765, post: 7951297, member: 124220"] Being a life long tool and die maker, I can tell you that CNC has destroyed the trade. There are no new toolmakers these days, just programmers and operators. Stuff isn’t hand fit anymore, people are fine with the wide open tolerances and a disposable society. The pride in craftsmanship is a thing of the past, at least the last few years I worked that’s how it was. Everything is “close enough” for who it’s for. People say it’s just technology advancements, and I spent 20 years programming, so I’m not anti-CNC, but we are dumbing down everything. Hard to find kids that want to learn. They want to push a button and play on their phone waiting till their part is done. Been sad to watch… I think 3D printers are just the beginning of the end for the mold industry. We are laser welding out of a tool holder in CNCs now, spray weld on, do a tool change and machine it off. Metal Injection Molding or (MiM) is moving at a rapid pace. [/QUOTE]
