WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – An innovative technique for machining brittle ceramic materials by first softening them with heat from a laser may cut in half the cost of making components for a growing U.S.

Advanced machining can solve many of the challenges of today’s increasingly difficult-to-produce parts such as miniaturization, part complexity, strict tolerances, thin walls, material hardness and ...

AZoMaterials spoke to Scott Mittl, Vice President of Sales at Insaco®, about how composite materials are defined, how composites are machined by Insaco, and the expected direction of CMC materials in ...

In the aircraft industry, where mechanical fastening of joined components is a necessity and the drilling of many thousands of holes per aircraft is, therefore, unavoidable, stacking the parts in ...

Simple adjustments to capital equipment, raw materials used, product design, and technique can make a significant difference in time and money spent on CNC machining. Here are four ways that machine ...
