Combining additive and subtractive manufacturing
Advances in the additive technology allowed to move far beyond rapid prototyping. With laser metal deposition, partial repairs, coating and hardening, additive manufacturing is proving a valuable asset throughout the entire supply chain. At the same time, conventional manufacturing processes remain essential for finishing high-quality components. To fully meet these requirements, Okuma developed a done-on-one solution that combines the best of both additive and subtractive manufacturing. More... |

The specialist for small blocks
With the new LPS-T, BEHRINGER is now offering a compact block bandsawing machine which enables efficient sawing of small blocks, panels and test cuts. In tool making in particular, metal blocks often need to be processed near to the final contour. In the steel trade, large numbers of remnant pieces accumulate, which can no longer be cost-effectively processed on conventional horizontal sawing machines. More...
