I was in Pasadena CA for the Hackaday Superconference, and got to spend some quality time at the Supplyframe Design Lab. Resident Engineer Dan Hienzsch said I could have a few hours, and asked me what ...

If you’re interested in making things (and since you’re reading this, we’re going to assume you are), you’ve almost certainly felt a desire to make metal parts. 3D printers are great, but have a lot ...

Precision milling has always been locked behind a "members only" sign – giant machines that take up massive warehouse space, cost more than your first car, and hum like an old air compressor 24 hours ...

Modern milling machines look much the same as they did 30 years ago. However, they now must cut superalloys, titanium, and high-tensile steels to closer tolerances and at faster rates than before. To ...

MAIJA-FRÄSTECHNIK GmbH milling discs are formed in hard metal, not of HSS, so that cutting edges slowly round off while the amount of material removed slowly decreases. They can be resharpened up to ...

Dive into the step-by-step process of building a powerful metal bending machine, also known as a ring roller or tube bender, in this in-depth fabrication project. Learn how recycled scrap metal, ...

A factory worker drives a forklift carrying a four-ton metal casting across a polished concrete floor. Surrounded by looming robotic equipment, he’s the only human in sight at DMG Mori Seiki’s ...

Today, milling machines are recognized as an integral part of the process for achieving quality pavement performance standards. Take a look at the journey these units have taken over the last 25 years ...
