Most traditional manufacturing techniques are subtractive technologies. You start with a block of material and carve parts away until you get the part you want. 3D printing is an additive technology. You start with nothing and then add material on top of itself to create the desired model. It makes

Without stock-feeding capabilities, CNC lathes cannot automate part production. The solution is bar pullers, which advance parts along the production line. The way it works is simple. The puller presses onto the remaining stock after the part is finished and a powered chuck moves it along. The chuck is then
