What manufacturers wanting in on Industry 4.0 should know before investing in a 3D printer
CAD/CAM improves generative design, print simulation, path programming and process control in additive manufacturing.
Mikron Tool expands its CrazyMill Cool P&S milling cutter family
AI software enables the company to capture relevant runtime metadata and put it into context to create useful information in real time.
The right tooling can have a profound effect on a shop’s competitiveness and future growth.
Metal diffusion bonding is an essential joining method for achieving a high-purity interface when two similar metals require superior structural integrity. The process involves applying high temperature, and pressure to metals mated together in a hot press causes the atoms on solid metallic surfaces to intersperse and bond.
Thermwood Corp. has added a third print orientation to its LSAM Large Scale Additive Manufacturing systems.
Key steps are virtual twins and real relationships.
Sandvik Coromant’s Package Selector Application analyzes a 3D CAD model of a product and recommends the smallest packaging possible using an AI algorithm that calculates the product’s rotation.
The acquisition of CAD/CAM pioneer Mastercam by Sandvik Manufacturing Solutions will help further tooling developments.
