Siemens used this test part to demonstrate new state-of-the-art milling techniques. It is made of tool steel hardened to 54 HRC and was machined on a Micron HPM 800U machining center. Something most ...

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 ...

So you added a milling machine to your asphalt crew. Now what? There's so much you can do with these machines on their own, but with advanced technology like 3D grade control, and other automated ...

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 ...

It’s a well-shared sentiment that paving companies do not like to see another companies’ machine in front of them running the mill while they’re doing the paving. Add that to the fact that many paving ...

All four manufacturers of asphalt milling machines remaining in North America (Astec’s Roadtec, BOMAG, Caterpillar, and Wirtgen) have made it easier for users to control milling depth by accepting the ...

In today’s highly competitive global landscape, manufacturers face an extraordinary demand to produce high-quality parts and be highly productive and efficient, often with fewer resources. In the past ...

We recently gave you some tips on purchasing your first milling machine, but what we didn’t touch on was CNC (Computer Numerical Control) systems for milling machines (or other machines, like lathes).

Now firmly established as road-building technologies, cold milling and the use of reclaimed asphalt pavement have placed the providers of milling machines in a good position at this time. "There's ...

MakerBot’s 3-D printers will soon be able to produce items that look like bronze, limestone, and wood, thanks to a new line of plastic-based composite materials shipping later this year. But the ...
