How Do CNC Milling Machines Work?

June 1, 2022
CAD Systems, CNC Machining

CNC Milling Machines are used to shape metal and other solid materials using specialised cutting tools programmed and managed by Computer Numerical Control (CNC) systems. The machining process creates a specific part or product with the help of CAD software, short for Computer-Aided Design.

Today, you won’t find many items that haven’t gone through CNC milling machines as most sectors rely on this specialised process. Some examples are cars, aeroplanes, machine parts, moulds for household machines, toys and even prosthetics. All of these are likely to have one or several CNC-machined components.

How Artificial Intelligence Is Changing The Construction Industry

May 13, 2022
Construction

Artificial Intelligence is expected to become the next technological frontier, according to most of the current studies and surveys across the world. Many of these investigations, and even experts, have gone so far as to claim that AI has not yet reached its maximum potential in the construction industry. They believe that by employing more Artificial Intelligence solutions, the construction sector may discover new ways to improve productivity. This would likely bring about an increase in resources dedicated to developing capabilities and AI playing a significant role in the construction process.

Electric Boat Concept Uses A Thorium Molten Salt Reactor

May 6, 2022
New Technology

Electric boat building has become big business in the maritime sector with the latest vessel, Thor, using a thorium molten salt reactor. At first glance, it somewhat resembles a vessel you’d expect a James Bond villain to have. Unveiled by Norwegian maritime solutions company, Ulstein, this new electric boat concept has tremendous potential to bring us zero-emission cruises and other marine applications. With everything they’ve put on board, it can be used for research, rescue, and replenishing missions among others.

CNC Waterjet Cutting: Processes, Applications and Benefits

April 25, 2022
CNC Machining, Waterjet Cutting

CNC Waterjet cutting is a specialised manufacturing process that uses a high-pressure jet of water to cut or shape various types of materials. The power of the CNC waterjet cutting machine comes from a pressurising pump that uses a small precision nozzle. As the water exits the nozzle, it delivers a supersonic stream of water, about three times the speed of sound.

Heat Engine With No Moving Parts Replaces Steam Turbines

April 22, 2022
New Technology, Renewable Energy

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the National Energy Laboratory (NREL) have introduced a new heat engine without any moving parts. The device is about 40% efficient, suggesting it may one day take the place of conventional steam turbines. The results were recently published in the journal Nature.

New Technology, Renewable Energy

Could there be a new, improved method for delivering nuclear fusion? A British fusion company seems to think so as their novel pistol shrimp-inspired system has succeeded with aplomb. According to a company spokesperson, they aim to have a pilot plant operational by the 2030s. This could have a tremendously positive impact on the UK, especially with the current energy crisis.

Metal Fabrication: Everything You Need To Know

March 31, 2022
Fabrication

The process of cutting and shaping steel, aluminium, or other materials to create specific items is known as metal fabrication. The design for a metal fabrication project is generally created by a designer or an engineer. The design is then turned into plans by a contractor or engineer, who uses it to construct the planned item. In this post, we’ll look at some of the materials utilised throughout the manufacturing process and how it all comes together.
