One model doesn’t fit every business or manufacturing sector

A recent episode of The Fabricator Podcast featured Matt Brunner from Brunner Fabrication. I was impressed by how they’ve built an extremely lean and highly productive shop using cutting-edge laser technology: a 24-kW fiber laser that produces blanks as fast as you can blink. This made me reflect on how different Brunner Fabrication is compared to my own on-demand fabrication company, OSH Cut. While both our models are driven by technology, the similarities end there.
These differences are a microcosm of the manufacturing industry as a whole. Thousands of companies are out there, each leveraging technology in distinct ways to support their unique business models, from high-volume production at low costs to bespoke architecture.
