Highly accurate contoured surfaces can be produced using diamond cutting tools, which are themselves extremely precise devices. The tool tip geometry can now be generated with an accuracy of a few ...

Robots load parts. CNC controls adapt feeds and speeds on the fly. Dashboards stream spindle data in real time. It's tempting to think the hard work is done by software now, and tooling is just a line ...

Drill Tool Geometry provides an overview of each tool angle for a drill, including point angle and helix angle, and details the impact that each angle has on a cutting operation. Changing the size of ...

Debinding and sintering are the make-or-break stages of 3D printing with metal powder filament. With a small, tabletop 3D ...

CNC turning is a subtractive manufacturing method (Removal of Material). Contrary to CNC Milling, Lathe machining is for circular geometries (stock is commonly a solid/hollow cylinder) but a hexagon ...
