5 Types of Unusual Materials for Machining Your Projects
Steel, aluminum, and titanium aren’t the only materials that can be machined. In fact, even though most people still don’t know this, machining involves removing material to modify the shape or dimensions of a material to create a piece that meets very specific needs....
5 Benefits of Using Computer-Assisted Drawing
Computer-assisted drawing, also known as CAD, has greatly evolved over the past few years and has shaken up the profession of the industrial designer. Indeed, the age of freehand drawings is over, and engineers and manufacturers of all kinds of objects now rely on...
5 Fields That Can Benefit from Using a 3D Scanner
The principle of a 3D scanner is digitization – that is to say, the photographic projection of an object, its shape, its dimensions, and its offsetting in order to deduce its geometry within the space and construct its synthetic image in three dimensions. The 3D...
What Are the Different Types of Milling Machines ?
