Until 2016, it was impossible to incorporate a femtosecond laser—an ultra-short pulse duration laser—onto a 5-axis machine. This was first realized by the Swiss group Georg Fischer in 2016, thereby ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology's Manufacturing Engineering Laboratory (www.mel.nist.gov) has produced micro-scale parts on a new, high-speed micro milling machine. The laboratory ...

Engineers at the Northern Illinois University College of Engineering and Engineering Technology have created an inexpensive micro-milling machine. Engineers at the Northern Illinois University (NIU) ...

We are all familiar with the phrase “the world is getting smaller.” However, it is not just that the world is getting smaller; practically everything we use is getting smaller. Not only are things ...

Microlution supplies three-, four-, and five-axis micro-milling machines, femtosecond laser machining platforms, and a micro lathe for turning operations. GF Machining Solutions agreed to a takeover ...

If you’re planning to make a metalworking lathe out of a CNC milling machine, you probably don’t expect getting a position sensor to work to be your biggest challenge. Nevertheless, this was [Anthony ...
