Additive Manufacturing

Learning from nature is one way of understanding what makes materials stronger and more damage-resistant.

Steps can be taken to change the perception of manufacturing careers.

Hybrid VMC from Romi Machine Tools opens machining possibilities with multiple additive manufacturing options.

PBF is the most mature additive manufacturing technology for industrial production and represents 86 percent of the worldwide machine install base. PBF is used to build 3D parts by heating successive layers of powder, typically at the micron-level, and generally produces parts that require finishing with conventional CNC machine tools to achieve a high-quality surface finish.

Quality control is key to successful additive manufacturing of metal products.

A tool manufacturer overcomes the challenges of excessive heat generation in the cutting zone.

Breakthrough research promises to advance the design of high-temperature alloys with exceptional mechanical stability.

Sandvik has agreed to acquire US-based Cambrio, which offers an end-to-end portfolio in CAD/CAM software for manufacturing industries.

Vertex Manufacturing, a Cincinnati-based advanced manufacturer, has expanded its ability to produce high-value 3D metal parts with the acquisition of an additive manufacturing system from Velo3D.

Open Mind Technologies USA Inc., the North American subsidiary of Open Mind Technologies AG, is celebrating its 25th anniversary of CAM software achievements.

The Ceratizit Group is hosting a global online event, "It's Tool Time," on June 17 to focus on the value of process optimization through a variety of interactive machining demonstrations and presentations.
