To be showcased at EMO, GF Machining Solutions' Laser S series is said to put product designers and mould makers at their forefront.

Having recognised the advanced possibilities offered by additive manufacturing, Paul Horn, now adopts this method to produce the company's tools, using the selective laser melting process.

MMC Hitachi Tools has increased the efficiency of the milling processes at Harting. Both cost and time were saved by employing the right strategies at the company for the grinding of valves.

Different phenomena can occur, causing a finished product to divert from the original model. Iterative processes of quality control are used to make sure that the parts live up to the standards.

With multiple options for additive manufacturing (AM) / 3D printing platforms available today, it can be confusing for potential users to select the best fit for their needs.

Gebr. Heller Maschinenfabrik has long been a leading supplier to the world's mechanical engineering industries. Recently the company decided it wanted to increase sales to mould shops. Managing Director Klaus Winkler discusses the reasons for the interest in the sector.

The highlight at the Formnext booth of Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence, provider of new measurement technologies, integrated manufacturing solutions and process standards is its RS6 laser scanner.

According to the company, Anca’s Linx cylindrical linear motor ensures rigidity to deliver a superior finish on cutting tools every time achieving a surface finish roughness average as low as 0.16 Ra. Find out, how you can achieve a superior tooling surface finish with Anca's tips.

It is the nightmare of every manufacturer: While working on a important and time-sensitive production project, a machining centre fails and stops working. The only possible rescue is a quick replacement of the machine. In case of FGP Systems, they were able to get a replacement in the course of two weeks.

Germany – Doosan said it has used state-of-the art linear motor and direct drive technology for its FM 200/5AX Linear 5-axis machining centre.
