Desktop Metal Fiber 3D Printing

By |2020-08-05T08:20:37-04:00August 5th, 2020|Categories: 3D Printing / Additive Mfg, Desktop Metal|

Let’s take a look at the new Desktop Metal Fiber 3D printing system. The Fiber system brings continuous fiber 3D printing to the desktop of engineers and designers. Composites are commonly used in performance automotive, aerospace, and many other industries (consumer goods, and machine design). Composites are great for parts that require the strength and stiffness of metal but at a fraction of the weight. Traditional Automated Fiber Placement (AFP) processes are only suitable for [...]

Real Time Machine Data Collection for Machine Shops

By |2020-07-31T08:21:18-04:00July 31st, 2020|Categories: Cimco, Technology|

Decades ago, Distributed Numerical Control or DNC consisted of serial cables run from a computer system to a very expensive, proprietary DNC serial hub. Proprietary shop floor boxes were often times used to initiate the transfer of files. All this for the sole purpose of downloading and uploading G-Code programs to CNC machines. So what’s different today? One of the biggest changes is the shift from very expensive, proprietary hardware to open systems with commercially [...]
