The machine will be able to form and polish the Tungsten components in the target and thereby remove the need to send this to an external company for processing which are crucial to the target development programme. More components will be manufactured internally after this purchase. The main drivers are for surface finish, high precision, reliability, after sale service, ease of use, and training packages. Issues with size and floor space are very important in a small workshop.
