Featured at IMTS 2014: Hybrid Milling/Metal Laser Sintering Machine

MC Machinery Systems will display the Lumex Avance-25 metal laser sintering hybrid milling machine, one of the only machines in the world that relies on one-machine, one-process manufacturing of complex molds and parts by combining metal laser sintering (3-D SLS) technology with high-speed milling technology. The machine enables production of complicated parts through total manufacturing using digital engineering and 3-D data.

The machine achieves high accuracy in part fabrication because metal powders are melted and sintered via laser, while surfaces are precisely milled at high speeds.

According to the company, metal laser sintering and milling technologies working in concert will allow engineers to think outside the box and create unique ideas, potentially triggering a departure from conventional manufacturing.
