June Digital Edition Now Available

The digital June issue of Modern Machine Shop is now available. Feature stories emphasize CAD/CAM software and die/mold machining topics. The cover story details how quickly updating tool paths to remachine die surfaces enabled a shop to provide short runs of prototype-formed sheet metal parts. Other features cover how a retired engineer was inspired to learn machining, as well as a brief look at TRAM, the aerospace conference returning to IMTS this year.

Our Rapid Traverse Section discusses eliminating tool pullout in titanium milling, and how “nano-onions” help improve cutting performance. A third story covers how the Dynamic Motion option in CNC Software’s Mastercam has moved past old boundaries.

This month’s Better production section includes case studies about automated honing creating consistent parts, how a CNC grinder shortens lead time for specialty tooling and how a large Y-axis VMC enables complete machining in a single setup.

The Modern Equipment Review section highlights EDM equipment.
