Italian tool manufacturer Cerin is exploring the advantages of exotic nickel alloys for tool manufacturing. To ensure precision, repeatability, and stability, the company relies on a fleet of Anca machines and corresponding control solutions.

Advances in 5-axis machining and in CAM systems have significantly expanded the boundaries of barrel endmill applications.

The aerospace industry is not only one of the largest consumers of cutting tools but also one of the most important driving factors for cutting tool development.

With increasing costs and demands, companies must make use of advanced software products. How CAM can support your company and keep you competitive is outlined in the following.

An extended flute tool is said to work both with high depth of cut and considerable overhang.

The remarkable strength-to-weight ratio and highly corrosion-resistant properties of titanium have resulted in the ever-growing use of this important engineering material in many demanding sectors. Current developments make the cutting of the material more effective.

The demands for miniature dental and medical components present a specific challenge for cutting tool manufacturers. Iscar has designed tools for this sector.

Many shops still cling to technologies they know, especially when it comes to cutting inserts. Doron Cohen, die and mould industry manager at cutting tool manufacturer Iscar, writes that living in the past could affect a company’s future.

CNC machine manufacturer Anca combines leading-edge technology with operating simplicity. The company's Laser-Plus and MX7 Linear tool grinding machine is the winning combination to produce superior-quality, high-performance cutting tools.

There are high demands for optimisation in cutting manufacturing. Productivity needs to increase and the quality needs to improve or at least stay at the same level with reduced costs. But where in the process chain is the best place to start?
