Siemens used this test part to demonstrate new state-of-the-art milling techniques. It is made of tool steel hardened to 54 HRC and was machined on a Micron HPM 800U machining center. Something most ...

Quality prediction and condition monitoring are crucial for realizing zero-defect intelligent manufacturing. Surface roughness is an important technical indicator to measure the surface quality of ...

Aircraft parts are often designed as thin-walled structures to reduce the weight of the aircraft. However, thin-walled structures are prone to deformation during the milling process, leading to a ...

Fixing flaws introduced during the machining of large components used in the aircraft and heavy equipment industries can be time-consuming for manufacturers – and costly if they must scrap the flawed ...

This Tuesday June 23 at 12PM ET, join Kennametal's aerospace machining experts for Thin Wall Machining of High-Temp Alloys, a ...

It’s easy to assume that not much has changed with face mills for a while. There’s been so much attention on other milling processes over the last few years, and face mills, or shell mills, were ...

Our frequent correspondent writes with some valuable notes on the technology involved in the process of machining slots: “1. When you must machine a precision slot you sometimes need to use a precise ...

Machining refers to the processes of cutting a piece of raw material into different shapes and sizes to come up with the final product. During the process of manufacture, controlled material addition ...

I entered the Army in 1988 as a military occupational specialty (MOS) 44E (machinist) under the Army Civilian Acquired Skills Program. Since I had received industry standard manual machinist training, ...

When he founded MakerBot eight years ago, Pettis made a multi million-dollar bet that at-home 3-D printing would become the future of manufacturing. Today, that prediction still hasn't materialized.
