supplycorpus / corpus / machines
// corpus dimension 02 of 17
The machine list is the shop.
Makes, models, envelopes, axis counts. A part either fits the envelope or it does not.
// what the corpus holds
Machine inventory. Make and model, by plant, where published or disclosed.
Work envelopes. Travels, swing, table size, axis counts.
Modality. Subtractive, additive, forming, fabrication, finishing.
Controls and age. A 2024 five axis cell and a tired knee mill are not the same capability.
// why it decides sourcing
Quoting starts at the envelope. Before anyone talks price, the part has to physically fit the machine, and the machine has to hold the tolerance. We check that before the first call, not after the third.
