Laser 3D printing and marking systems are among the heavy-duty cutting and welding systems that had been scheduled for the IMTS Fabricating and Laser Pavilion—testament to the growing impact of what once might have been viewed as ancillary processes.
Advanced cutting tools can maximize metal removal rates (MRR) when machining even the most difficult-to-machine materials. Powered by the latest CAM programs, these machining strategies are known variously as high-speed, high-efficiency, optimized roughing and also by proprietary brand names like Mastercam’s Dynamic Milling.
Fiber laser welding continues to grow as it improves in weld quality, reliability and performance. Many fiber laser welding applications are autogenous, where the weld is formed entirely by melting parts of the base metal and no additional filler wire or powder is used
OMAX Corp. has announced a virtual trade show showcasing the ProtoMAX abrasive waterjet. Using the ProtoMAX as a teaching tool, OMAX will present a program of design, machinery, and innovation as it pertains to the advancements of abrasive waterjet technology.
Offers unconstrained concept design sketching within the 3D environment to help increase productivity.
Laser marking ensures safe traceability as well as counterfeit protection.
Cutting tool consumption in January 2020 rose 5 percent compared with December 2019, according to the U.S. Cutting Tool Institute and AMT - The Association for Manufacturing Technology.
Tony Hemmelgarn, CEO, offers free subscriptions to learning memberships, limited time licenses in key software offerings for workers and students.
The impact of disruptive technology and the benefits of Industry 4.0 digitization of controls, machines and processes have been fully embraced by the metal removal segment of advanced manufacturing.
