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.
Makino's EDNC65S RAM EDM combines rugged construction, simple programming and advanced design and performance features. The result is an EDM that machines 30 percent faster than manual EDM machines, while utilizing Makino's High-Quality Surface Finish (HQSF) technology to achieve superior speeds...
In today's fast paced, ever changing global manufacturing environment, the Management of the worlds production engineering and manufacturing resources are driven by several key forces.
A V22 high precision vertical machining center was chosen to machine the part from roughing to finishing. The machining process began with top face roughing of the part using a 15-mm Pokholm face mill at 7500RPM. The outside perimeter was then machined with a 1.3-mm ball-nosed endmill running at 30,000RPM....
The whole industry seems to be discussing this topic. Here’s what Modern Machine Shop has to say about "HSM Research - On the Edge of Technology".
