ModuleWorks Hybrid Machining combines the industry-proven ModuleWorks additive path planning […]

All-in-one Pelton Wheel Pelton wheels are the driving force of the hydro-power industry, extracting energy from fast-flowing water to generate electricity. But manufacturing a Pelton wheel is a challenge. Due to the wheel’s complicated design, the impulse blades are usually machined separately and then mounted onto the rim, which is time consuming and adds to

Originally developed for machining optical parts such as spherical and aspherical lenses used in, for example, telescopes, ultra-precision machining is revolutionizing the way parts and surfaces are machined. More and more milling and turning centers now offer the physical and thermal stability to cope with the accelerated spindle speeds, enabling ultra-precision machining to be used
