One of the laments of the machinist is that designers don't always consider whether their designs can actually be made. Form Factory founder Brian Ross has embraced that thought and turned it on its head. Ross created his company to cater to clients in a wide variety of industries that all need one thing: high-precision prototypes.

Multi-tasking machines for big parts, small parts and everything in between were on display at the Discover More with Mazak Midwest 2019 event. The May 9 event featured a variety of multi-axis machines. Kevin Bates, general manager - Midwest Region at Mazak Corp., provided Cutting Tool Engineering with a tour of some of the high-productivity technology on display at Mazak's Midwest Technology Center, Schaumburg, IL.

This additive manufacturing process is helping machine shops create parts with complex internal cooling channels.

Broaching on a CNC machine enables multitasking, streamlines setups and saves money.

The ability to peer inside machined parts allows metrologists to make better decisions faster.

Coherent Inc. rolls out the ExactCut laser micromachining system, first in a line of machines aimed at meeting exacting material processing standards.

To serve the needs of moldmakers and manufacturers that demand the highest levels of productivity and design quality for surface texturing applications, GF Machining Solutions has introduced its new AgieCharmilles LASER S series.

Vision Engineering's DRV (Deep Reality Viewer) digital 3D stereoscopic display technology creates stereo high-definition 3D images without using a monitor or requiring operators to wear headsets or specialist glasses because images "float" in front of a mirror.

OSSEO, MINNESOTA — Die Technology, Inc., a machining services and tooling manufacturer, announced today the creation of its new sister company, Nanotech Precision, LLC.

JW Winco Inc. has expanded its line of GB-FP wing nuts nylon plastic, with tapped through insert.n

Live tooling, as the name implies, is specifically driven by the CNC and the turret of various spindle and powered subspindle configurations on CNC lathes to perform various operations while the workpiece remains in orientation to the main spindle.

When you read this, 40 years will have already passed since the discovery of spark erosion for machining polycrystalline cutting materials. Lach Diamant named this process "spark grinding," which accompanied the development of proprietary machines. Polycrystalline diamond tools conquered a multiple-application market traditionally reserved for carbides. Diamonds, baked under pressure and heat during synthesis, made this possible.
