An aerospace parts maker needed to machine deep holes—at more than 50x diameter—and found that its gun drilling method would take four and half minutes per hole. MSC senior metalworking specialist Tom Prisaznuk explains how moving to new tools and changing the machining process cut drilling time down to well under a minute.

To get more done at a better price point, think about the total cost of ownership of your milling tools versus the price tag. MSC senior metalworking specialist Robert Goodwin talks about how an automotive parts maker reaped savings by moving to high-feed milling.

It’s no longer as tricky to play around with different combinations of inserts, cutter bodies and assemblies before making a buying decision. Find out how to use the MachiningCloud for just that purpose.

Both roughing and finishing with a single machining tool used to be unheard of in metalworking. But Sandvik Coromant developed PrimeTurning to allow high-feed roughing turns and also finish turns using multiple corners of the same tool.

By integrating scanning and automation, 3D Systems researchers are developing tools that will help speed parts inspections when a full CMM inspection isn’t necessary. The advantages will likely benefit automotive and aerospace parts makers in particular.

How do you take the capabilities of today’s machines and match them with optimized cutting tools to gain the most output and be the most profitable?
