Desktop Metal recently added 316L stainless steel to their list of printable metals on the Studio System. Characterized by its corrosion resistance and performance at both high and low temperatures, 316L is a fully austenitic stainless steel ideal for harsh environments. Expert metallurgy is at the core of the Studio System, which was built to simplify even the most challenging aspects of metal fabrication—including easy material changes in under a minute. The introduction of 316L [...]
There is a new enhancement in Mastercam 2019 for wireframe and curves functions when using STL files. In previous versions it was not possible to create wireframe geometry from STL files so their utility for toolpaths was limited. Now in Mastercam 2019, edges and vertices are recognizable snap locations for creating wireframe geometry. In the example above, we have three models displayed on the screen. We can analyze each to see their properties. [...]

Today’s blog post will take an in-depth look at Cimco DNC Max, which addresses all communications’ issues between your software and your CNC machine. If you work with CNC equipment, you know that transferring part programs to machines is an essential step in the machining process. Older machines have serial or RS-232 ports, enabling data transfer, but these provide no structure with regards to where operators are pulling programs from and which are the most [...]
