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 ...

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.

Modern milling machines look much the same as they did 30 years ago. However, they now must cut superalloys, titanium, and high-tensile steels to closer tolerances and at faster rates than before. To ...

If you’re interested in making things (and since you’re reading this, we’re going to assume you are), you’ve almost certainly felt a desire to make metal parts. 3D printers are great, but have a lot ...

Thread milling plays a critical role in the machining of aviation components. However, for parts with complex shapes and high precision requirements, traditional three-axis milling often results in ...

All four manufacturers of asphalt milling machines remaining in North America (Astec’s Roadtec, BOMAG, Caterpillar, and Wirtgen) have made it easier for users to control milling depth by accepting the ...

Comprehensive process optimization begins with an evaluation to identify the best combination of tooling, fixturing, machines, and cycle times. The Seco Engineered Solutions team evaluates the scope ...

This data descriptor introduces a data set from a CNC machining process which includes vibration and current data recorded for 14 cutting tools used from their initial state until failure. Cuboidal ...
