MC Machinery to Feature Additive Manufacturing Technology at RAPID
May 1, 2015
MC Machinery Systems, exclusive dealer of the LUMEX Avance-25, will present the platform at the upcoming RAPID event, May 18-21 in Long Beach, CA. The LUMEX Avance-25 is built to combine laser sintering and high-speed milling in one and will be displayed at booth #638.
The LUMEX Avance-25 metal laser sintering hybrid milling machine relies on one-machine, one-process manufacturing of complex molds and parts by fusing metal laser sintering (3D SLS) technology with high-speed milling technology. "The machine enables production of complicated parts through total manufacturing by digital engineering, using 3D data," said a company spokesperson. "The machine achieves high accuracy in part fabrication since metal powders are melted and sintered via laser, while surfaces are precisely milled at high speeds."
Die and Mold Application
According to the company, dies and molds with complex geometries can be fabricated in one piece with high accuracy, shortening lead time and reducing manufacturing costs to a half or even a third of conventional methods. Also, 3D cooling channels can be incorporated into molds in the single set-up, thereby increasing cooling efficiency and enabling high-cycle injection molding with quality and precision, reducing costs and improving efficiency.
Application to Parts Production
"Differentiated original parts production with internal structures, thus far considered impossible, are feasible on this machine," said the spokesperson. The machine is also designed for quick turn production of custom parts, whether prototypes or small production run parts.
