CHALLENGE Creating complex parts from hard metals is a specialty of JWD Machine Inc. The company, located in Fife, Wash., works with some of the largest aerospace manufacturers in the world.     Working with titanium is challenging and costly, and in order to stay...

The push toward high speed machining is coming from three key areas: mold and die, aerospace, and automotive. Each of these industries is motivated by different interests and goals; each is emphasizing different technologies to solve divergent problems; each faces different challenges in regard to the...

The accelerated pace of product introductions and the short life cycle of those products, no longer allows the traditional techniques of prototype moldmaking to succeed. New methods must be used for the prototype mold shop to survive in today's economy.   HIGH-PERFORMANCE...

When machining titanium became all the rage back in the early 2000s, every shop wanted to claim they were doing it because it was a “big deal” at the time.  Fast-forward to today, and many of those same shops are still cutting titanium. However, they are using outdated equipment and...
