Automation has expanded the average machine tool's functionality: Sensors, HMIs, and most importantly, coordinated axes and controls are making processes — particularly the cutting of curved paths — ...

ANCA CNC MACHINES has developed ToolDraft to assist cutting-tool manufacturers to develop technical patterns for their products. Like all manufactured parts, cutting tools require technical drawings ...

Editor's Note: An updated version of this information can be found here. What exactly is computer-numerical-controlled (CNC) machining? It’s a means to make parts by removing material via high-speed, ...

It’s doubtful that the early pioneers of CNC would have been able to imagine the range of the applications the technology would be used for. Once limited to cutting metal, CNC machines can now lance ...

The phrase “autonomous cutting machine” may sound like something out of Terminator but this clever little robot, called the Goliath CNC, wants to help humanity, not harm it. Created by Lorenzo Frangi, ...

Humans had to carry out all their machining processes by hand for centuries. Even precision tools had to be maneuvered very carefully, inch by inch, by people holding the devices personally. That all ...

Watch as we design and create a soft hammer using cast aluminum and a two-part petrobond sand mold. The process begins with a ...

As part of the Collectible design fair in Brussels, Swedish firm HAHA Studio has launched a range of futuristic furniture and lighting that lays bare the digital fabrication technique through which it ...
