In the early 1980s, machine tool builders added milling spindles to turning machines, and Multi-Tasking was born. Within a decade, the concept quickly progressed to machines that not only combined ...

Monitoring of part porosity in additive manufacturing is critical for part qualification and process parameter development. This article describes the monitoring of porosity in additive manufacturing ...

“Additive manufacturing” describes a range of technologies that convert CAD models into 3D forms, including stereolithography and fused deposition modeling, for polymers and other non-metallic ...

Integrex i-400AM is a turnkey installation that, according to Mazak, is particularly well suited to small-lot production of difficult-to-cut materials, such as aerospace alloys, high-hardness ...

In additive manufacturing, accumulation of residual stresses can result in severe part distortion from the desired preform shape. Current methods for in-situ part distortion monitoring in additive ...

The Integrex i-400 AM integrates Direct Energy Deposition additive manufacturing technology into a 5-axis Multi-Tasking machine to offer machine users hybrid technology, combining the benefits of ...
