    I’ve used waterjet, CNC, and EDM parts. The waterjets typically give me ~100 micron accuracy, CNC ~20 micron and EDM ~10 micron.

      Yeah just cut out the body in waterjet, how hard can it be?

      Doesn’t temperature affect precision within that range? Like when the parts cool down, they’ll be unprecise.

      At my old shop they gave the job of running the EDM to the old dude who regularly fell asleep during his shift.

      What I’m saying is that those machines are slow as hell.

      For years, the production rate of cybertruck was 0/year.
