Improving the productivity of machining processes is one of the basic requirements in every machine-tool engineering specification. Scientists have integrated a laser module into the tool station of a ...

Until 2016, it was impossible to incorporate a femtosecond laser—an ultra-short pulse duration laser—onto a 5-axis machine. This was first realized by the Swiss group Georg Fischer in 2016, thereby ...

The milling head of the DMU 60 L combined milling-laser machine cuts material with high precision. Machine Design distills the cutting-edge landscape of advanced manufacturing through the eyes of ...

Linear motion components provide the foundation for smooth axis movement on a machine tool. Here are factors to consider when choosing machines with linear motion components that are durable and ...

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 ...
