Ever wondered how those powerful welding machines that join metal get made? It’s quite a process, really. It starts with just ...

Cross-drilled holes act as conduits for fluids, lubricants and gases. Failing to remove burrs can cause blockage of these critical passages or create turbulence in the flow. In automated machining, ...

Deformation processes transform solid materials from one shape into another. The initial shape is usually simple (e.g., a billet or sheet blank) and is plastically deformed between tools, or dies, to ...

Closing the casting-to-machining divide reduces scrap, speeds production and lowers costs without compromising quality.

Current machining technology has developed to make just about every conceivable object. Yet, there are still some things that, though they can be made, are difficult to finish. For example: removing ...

The ability to produce quality products hinges on four key competencies: modeling of process form and precision levels, design tolerancing of parts and products, selecting production processes that ...
