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 ...

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 ...

Why do designers and mechanical engineers need experience operating a manual mill, or for that matter any machine tool? A similar question might be asked about CNC machinists: Who cares about all that ...

This innovation integrates milling and turning operations into a single machining process; a single machine can now execute milling, turning, mill-turn, or turn-mill operations, all while using the ...

SFU Mechatronic Systems Engineering is strongly focused on hands-on skills. Using our MMTC facility, students acquire a deep foundation of practical expertise to add proven real-world knowledge to ...
