What are the Differences Between Milling, Turning, and Mill-Turn?

By |2022-01-10T08:45:39-05:00January 10th, 2022|Categories: Mastercam|

Choosing which kind of CNC machining to use — mill, lathe, or mill-turn — can be overwhelming. All three techniques are forms of subtractive manufacturing; they cut material away rather than add material on, unlike additive processes like 3D printing. But what sets them apart from each other? Mostly, the answer lies in how they remove that material and which piece rotates: the cutter or the workpiece. What is Milling? Milling is the most commonly [...]

Metrology Minute – Traditional 2D Drawing inspection

By |2022-01-07T08:22:06-05:00January 7th, 2022|Categories: Metrology Minute|

In our last Metrology Minute post, we demonstrated how Control X can be used to extract feature size and location information directly from the scan, without the use of a nominal CAD model. With this route, a more traditional type of inspection could take place using just the scan of a manufactured part or assembly. We explained how a region’s model may be used to identify and measure analytic features, directly from a scan. And [...]

Wood 3D Printing Used in Our Ornament Design Challenge

By |2022-01-13T09:14:46-05:00January 3rd, 2022|Categories: 3D Printing / Additive Mfg, Desktop Metal|

There were many submissions to our Holiday Ornament challenge this year. The 1st and 2nd place winners were already announced a couple of weeks back. Another one of our favorites was the Christmas Star submitted by Forest Denton. We really liked his design for its geometric simplicity and also thought it would be a great example to have our friends at Desktop Metal 3D print it with a revolutionary process they are about to bring [...]
