By 2035, the standalone tool will vanish, evolving into hyper-connected, self-correcting autonomous cells. Artificial Intelligence will drive real-time adaptive machining, rendering manual oversight ...

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 ...

Grinding, or abrasive machining, once performed on conventional milling machines, lathes and shapers, are now performed on various types of grinding machines. Grinding machines have advanced in design ...

Everyone wants to reduce cycle times, but simply machining faster isn’t necessarily the answer. If high speed milling comes at the cost of reduced tool life and surface finish, the minutes gained ...

Pocket NC is a new mini desktop CNC milling machine that has been in development for the last 4 years and has now launched on Kickstarter looking to raise $70,000 in funding to go into production.

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 ...

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 ...
