Additive manufacturing

Saving with metal printing

In the newly opened 3D printing laboratory for metals and structural materials at the Fraunhofer Institute for High-Speed Dynamics, Ernst Mach Institute, EMI, researchers have investigated how resource-efficient the manufacturing process is when lightweight components are additively manufactured from aluminum.

Profile grinding wheels

Deep grinding of ceramics, steels and carbide

Lach Diamant will be presenting "contour-profiled" profile grinding wheels for metal binders at GrindTec. While the resin-bonded grinding wheel requires up to three passes when deep grinding components made of carbide, high-alloy steels or ceramics, the metal-bonded "contour-profiled" profile grinding wheel does this in a single pass, according to the manufacturer.

Wire EDM machines

Repeat offenders

Compared to other available cutting materials, the synthetically produced cutting material PCD (polycrystalline diamond) has a very high hardness and wear resistance. By varying the grain sizes, the toughness and wear resistance can be influenced according to the application.
