Metal 3D printing enables space companies to manufacture key components on an industrial scale

Velo3D Inc., a metal additive manufacturing company, announced that Benny Buller has stepped down as company CEO at the company's request, effective immediately. Brad Kreger was appointed Interim CEO.

The larger diameter cutter and new lengths both boost the Fullcut Mill FCM BBT line's already-considerable versatility, allowing machinists to tailor their tool selections for many different applications. The BIG-PLUS BBT shank products are compatible with both BIG-PLUS and existing BT spindle machines. This allows for seamless integration, no matter the machining setup.

ISCAR is introducing 17 mm diameter PENTA inserts, designed for machining small size parts with up to 4 mm maximum grooving depth capability. The inserts are available in a range of widths from 0.25 to 3.18 mm, with different edge configurations for parting, grooving, turning and threading.

The NEOTURN XNMG demonstrates excellent chip control and highly stable tool life in a wide range of applications. The NEOTURN system also enables machining complicated workpiece shapes close to the tail stock where space is limited. This can be performed without replacing the holder and decreases setup time substantially.

The advanced design combines a strong insert structure, a durable cutter body, secure mounting, and advanced carbide grades.
