Carbon Fiber Resin Material for 3D Printing

Cincinnati Inc. has released a new carbon fiber resin material for its SAAM (Small Area Additive Manufacturing) 3D printing system. The new material is impact resistant, lightweight and has a very high strength-to-weight ratio. Carbon fiber reinforcement makes the material stiff, durable and very low warping – and advanced inter-layer adhesion results in accurate, quality parts with good dimensions. The material's superior surface finish makes it perfect for custom tooling applications, as well as assembly, CMM, welding and CNC fixtures.

TRT160 Tilting Rotary Table

Five-axis machining is a powerful tool for reducing setup times and increasing accuracy on complex parts. But investing in a 5-axis machine tool may not be in the budget, especially for smaller shops. The all-new TRT160 tilting rotary table from Haas Automation not only puts 5-axis capabilities well within reach of the average job shop, but its new smaller size also provides greater mounting flexibility than its predecessor.

HRT1000 and HRT100 Rotary Tables

Rotary tables are ideal for machining multiple sides of a part in a single setup or for machining many parts on a multiple-sided fixture. But handling very large or very small parts can prove challenging without the correct size rotary. The HRT1000 and HRT100 rotary tables from Haas Automation Inc. cover both ends of the size spectrum, providing high-precision 4th-axis positioning and simultaneous 4-axis motion for extra-large and extra-small parts.
