Santa Facing a Labor Shortage? <br>Our Christmas Video Shows the Solution!

This year, things didn’t run smoothly in Santa’s workshop – the skilled labor shortage didn’t spare even Christmas. But luckily, he had an idea and turned to us. And of course, we had a solution: lots of little Santas! Using hyperMILL and with the help of our partners, HERMLE USA and Fraisa USA, we milled numerous helpers. Now Santa is beaming again because all the presents are ready on time, and Christmas is saved!
Curious how it worked?
