Researchers have demonstrated a technique that allows people who manufacture metal machine parts with 3D printing technologies to conduct automated quality control of manufactured parts during the ...

Many freshman college engineering courses will walk through the different types of materials and processes in manufacturing. Understanding how materials behave in different processes can help make the ...

Using a tool shaped more like the surface it is finishing reduces cycle time and improves finish. Much has been made of newer roughing strategies such as high efficiency milling and for good reason.

It’s impossible to design a machine part without ‘burrs.’ In fact, it’s only after the part has been designed and a process has been selected for producing the part that any issue involving burrs on ...

The challenge that machine tool builders face when designing spindles for milling machines and lathes is selecting bearings with the optimal balance of speed, load-carrying capacity, stiffness, and ...
