Engineers at the Northern Illinois University College of Engineering and Engineering Technology have created an inexpensive micro-milling machine. Engineers at the Northern Illinois University (NIU) ...

Until 2016, it was impossible to incorporate a femtosecond laser—an ultra-short pulse duration laser—onto a 5-axis machine. This was first realized by the Swiss group Georg Fischer in 2016, thereby ...

Shops micromachining extremely small part features have always had to use larger more-expensive machine tools for such jobs, that is until now. Culminating from seven years of micromachining research ...

Micro parts are indispensable components. A look at material selection and requirements for medical (for ventilators), dentistry (drills) and laboratory equipment (HPLC systems or pipetting robots) ...

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 ...
