CNC mills will never match real heavy metal mills on hard materials, but that won’t stop people from pushing the limits of these DIY machines. One of the usual suspects, [Ivan Miranda] is at it again, ...

Researchers used Argonne's Advanced Photon Source to capture how the microstructure of metals evolves in real time during 3D ...

The CNC mill is the foundation of most modern machine shops, and it’s usually the tool with the most demands competing for its time. This means making tough choices when small-volume parts are needed.

Every now and then we’ll see a 3D printer that can print an entire house out of concrete or print an entire rocket out of metal. But usually, for our budget-friendly hobbyist needs, most of our 3D ...

Hydraulic pumps, cylinders, and other actuators deliver greater power in smaller packages than engines, electric motors, and mechanical actuators. Hydraulic valves easily control direction, speed, ...

Ever since the genesis of additive manufacturing (AM or “3D printing” – creating structures layer by layer) during the final decades of the 20 th century, a major goal in the manufacturing industry ...

The state is investing $48,000 in High School's technical education program through a Wisconsin Fast Forward grant. The funds will be used to purchase items including a powder-coating system, computer ...
