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 ...

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 ...

Why do designers and mechanical engineers need experience operating a manual mill, or for that matter any machine tool? A similar question might be asked about CNC machinists: Who cares about all that ...

This innovation integrates milling and turning operations into a single machining process; a single machine can now execute milling, turning, mill-turn, or turn-mill operations, all while using the ...
