Robust and stiff often come to mind when considering the characteristics that make for a productive milling machine. However, Juanjo Zulaika, a researcher at the applied-research center Tecnalia Research & Innovation, thought otherwise and developed a "softer" milling machine with reduced weight and stiffness. That's achieved while increasing productivity.
