The only possible improvement I can suggest is to remove edge burrs off the laser cut C frames by putting the frames into a concrete mixer full of hard crushed stone (eg bluestone or granite) and letting them tumble for several + hours. This will leave flat metal surfaces with a pleasant low sheen sand blasted look with all sharp edges removed from the corners.
Most laser and plasma jobbers offer that as part of job; near guarantee they have vibratory burring equipment in-house. 200 parts with inside/ outside contour wouldn't be more than 2 hours.Quote:

Other improvements would require added tooling, collet closers, more mounted QC tool holders, form tools etc.
But overall, a remarkable display of expedient processing.
Think not? 16 something minutes covering near every motion in 200 clamps, or 21 minutes for a half dozen T nuts?
I rest my case.
A tumbler is what you need to knock off the sharp edges.
