If you read our previous article about the history of rapid CNC prototyping over the years, you got a pretty good idea of how it’s changed since it started as numerical control and then added computers to become the CNC rapid prototyping that we know today. But while that article touched on some o…Read More
Because rapid CNC services and rapid EDM services deal with computers, it’s changing all the time. After all, even though numerically controlled machines have been around since the 1940s, rapid prototyping keep getting better because of the advancements in technology. Computers were added in the 1…Read More
When a company is looking for rapid prototyping, the most popular method during the last 50 years has been CNC machining. This prototyping tool has allowed prototypes to get made and remade until it works perfectly and can be duplicated as the actual part. But there’s a new type of rapid prototypi…Read More
Even though we work in the CNC machining industry and use rapid prototyping machines every day, we don’t spend much time thinking about the history of the machines we work with. The closest we probably get is “good thing we don’t have to mill this by hand, because nobody could be that good.”…Read More
When it comes to rapid prototyping, it’s not something you want to trust to just anyone. In any industry — and especially the medical and automotive industries that 3DM caters to — you don’t want to be working with a part that was improperly made and prevents your machine from working. Wheth…Read More
The basics of CNC Machining could be comprehended by a person from hundreds of years ago. While they might not understand the computer part of it, they would at least comprehend the idea of a drill that’s moving quickly in order to remove material. Wire EDM, on the other hand, is a different story…Read More
