Fanum’s Lambda GT five-axis machining center with Siemens Sinumerik One delivers stable, high-precision CNC milling for ...

In modern stone fabrications and precision manufacturing facilities, the sound of production is the ultimate indicator of profitability. When a heavy stone slab is loaded onto a cutting bed, operators ...

CNC mills will never match real heavy metal mills on hard materials, but that won’t stop people from pushing the limits of these DIY machines. One of the usual suspects, [Ivan Miranda] is at it again, ...

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 ...

The Shapeoko from Inventables in Chicago is said to be the world's first open-source CNC mill that can create precision parts from plastic, wood, and metal. The kits to build the machines cost from ...

The patent-pending uP-Gear process — co-developed by Heller Machine Tools and Voith Turbo — is aimed at manufacturers of vehicles, machines, or machine components, that machine large gears in low ...

The bulk of the milling machine market consists of half-lane machines weighing from 60,000 to 90,000 pounds and typically equipped with roughly 7-foot-wide cutting drums, which are powered by 600- to ...

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 ...

When he founded MakerBot eight years ago, Pettis made a multi million-dollar bet that at-home 3-D printing would become the future of manufacturing. Today, that prediction still hasn't materialized.

Humans had to carry out all their machining processes by hand for centuries. Even precision tools had to be maneuvered very carefully, inch by inch, by people holding the devices personally. That all ...
