There are many ways to turn a CAD design into a physical reality. Both subtractive and additive manufacturing can be used to create parts with digital precision. For the best results, choose a ...
New additive manufacturing techniques give manufacturers control over material behavior with tunable properties and ...
For decades there have been five basic types of manufacturing processes. They are distinct. Great design engineers understand the nuances of these processes and tailor their designs accordingly. There ...
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 ...
The special AM machine that was devised to handle the diverse materials needed for the motor build. The assembly and ...
Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, has had a major impact on the contemporary design and production process. First developed in 1988 with the aim of allowing for rapid prototyping, ...
Manufacturing has gone through a series of major evolutions in the past few years. Subtractive processes (drilling, cutting, CNC milling and turning) and standard formative techniques (injecting, ...
When it comes to turning a raw block of metal into a useful part, most processes are pretty dramatic. Sharp and tough tools are slammed into raw stock to remove tiny bits at a time, releasing the part ...
This is part two of a three-part series on the sustainability of 3D printing. The first article was Time for Clean Production Methods? 3D Printing Could Be the Solution. Part two looks at the use of ...
Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Casting, Composite and Processing Technology (Fraunhofer) have reportedly ...
The optimized component made of glass fiber-reinforced polyamide is represented here within the NX program with a weight-optimized lattice structure. Photo Credit, all images: Naddcon AIM3D GmbH ...
A 25-year veteran when it comes to using 3D printing, Volkswagen is now taking things to the next level by introducing a completely new 3D printing process for its car manufacturing, which will result ...
