There are some amazing large format 5-axis machining centers on the market these days. They can machine titanium all day long and hold incredible tolerances. The problem is that you may have to spend ...

Advanced machining can solve many of the challenges of today’s increasingly difficult-to-produce parts such as miniaturization, part complexity, strict tolerances, thin walls, material hardness and ...

CNC might seem like magic. After all, an engineer need only design a part, send it through some CAM software, and then let the CNC machine do it’s thing and automatically cut a part. But that’s not ...

Manufacturers are under pressure to change, to produce parts and systems that are smaller and lighter, and to do it with lower capital and operating costs – among other idealistic demands. Ideals are ...

Simulations indicating aluminum aerospace parts could be milled twice as fast directed a Michigan shop to a Starrag machine with a wide work envelope, large tool magazine, high speed-and-feed rates, ...

New AI-based tool suggests machining strategies and can learn from past data. That and more design and simulation news. You’re reading Engineering Paper, and here’s the latest design and simulation ...

Recently [Camden Bowen] took a swing at machining a two-stroke engine out of billet aluminium, following adventures in 3D printing such an engine, as well as building one out of parts largely sourced ...
