Sandvik Expands Digital Manufacturing with CGTech Acquisition

Introduction CNC machining is a common subtractive manufacturing technology. Unlike 3D printing, the process typically begins with a s

Precision shaping of metal products Making objects out of metal involves many manufacturing processes. One of these is machining, a necessary requirement of mass manufacture in the modern age. Machine tools cut, bore, grind, or otherwise shape metal by removing some of it with a cutting or grindin

Acrylic machining Acrylic (PMMA) is a highly desirable material due to its strength, toughness, and transparency. But relying on conventional machining processes to cut acrylic can be a complicated procedure: the material is highly fragile and any excess force can cause un

CNC machining is a highly versatile manufacturing process. In addition to being able to work with rigid materials such as metals and wood, it also works very well with polymers. CNC machining of plastics is, in many ways, like CNC machining of all other materials. However, there is a
