Additive Manufacturing

Under the surface of intricate 3D-printed objects lies a critical aspect that often goes unnoticed: density. Find out why it is significant.

Copper is one of the “hottest” metals attracting attention in the additive manufacturing world these days. But 3D printing poses distinct challenges.

Sustainability is a central component of Paul Horn GmbH`s corporate philosophy. Quality assurance, environmental protection, energy efficiency and safety have always been the focus with regard to products and production. 

Open Mind Technologies, a worldwide developer of CAD/CAM software solutions, will be highlighting the advanced capabilities of its latest hyperMILL CAD/CAM software suite at two upcoming trade shows.

Additive manufacturing is set to revolutionize composite production in the defense, aerospace and additional industries.

Additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, allows Seco Tools to create products that would otherwise be difficult or impossible to manufacture. The advantages include shorter lead times, improved tool life and increased sustainability.

United Grinding North America has launched a four-year apprenticeship program to provide aspiring individuals with an opportunity to earn a full scholarship from Sinclair College in Ohio while gaining invaluable hands-on experience.

Aerospace and defense giant Leonardo — tasked by the Ministry of Defense to provide AgustaWestland AW101s for the British Royal Navy — found that its pre-existing main rotor blade restraint cradles were not living up to its standards. Additive manufacturing may have provided a solution.

In metal additive manufacturing, post-processing of parts introduces time and financial constraints to the overall cost per part that can negate the benefits of AM altogether. How can you transition to automated support removal (and finishing) solutions, and what are the advantages of CNC systems?

United Grinding North America will host industry leaders and manufacturing professionals at the first-ever Precision Summit in Miamisburg, Ohio, on May 24-25. The event includes new machines, including three never shown in North America, and live demonstrations.
