CNC machining tips and trends

In this paper, you’ll learn the basics of high-performance superalloys, and be provided with some guidance for their use in new product applications and improved product design.

New materials with special properties are being developed every day. However, the special manufacturing processes required takes time.

Aluminum is one of the most universal materials and is widely used in many CNC machining applications. It is cost effective, easy to manufacture with many methods, has a good strength to weight ratio, and is naturally long lasting with low corrosion rates.

Have you ever “proofread” something you’ve written without the computer’s spell checker or grammar checker on? Risky business. Most people simply cannot see their mistakes. In fact, the brain fills in the corrections and it is easy to miss the error.

Although Protomatic has been operating during the Covid-19 crisis, we know that many supporting companies have slowed down. As we all get back on track, we analyzed what we could do to support all industries — particularly those in medical and aerospace.

Protomatic has recently become aware of potential problems associated with Conflict Minerals in the supply chain and would like you to know how we approach this issue.

At Protomatic, we have over 40 years of experience with prototyping and manufacturing for the automotive, aerospace, medical and defense industries. With that experience, we’ve developed methodologies and practices over the years that allow us to address manufacturing issues at an unparalleled pace.

Whatever your work situation, from “work from home,” to “mandated work,” to addressing family needs, we feel compassion for all that you have done during this time of need.

Coronavirus is the overriding concern of all Americans right now. And deservedly so. It’s a curse that must be eradicated. However, in its shadow another threat lurks that can affect the health and well-being of businesses. Cybersecurity.

Protomatic manufactures tools, fixtures and prototype parts for the development, testing and production of lithium-ion batteries. By being so involved in the challenges and opportunities presented by those batteries, Protomatic is committed to staying abreast of the latest developments in the field.

Before we get into the remarkable ways that 3D printing is being used in medical applications, here’s a brief explanation of Additive, or 3D printing.

When you’re looking for a partner to help you develop your prototype or take your short-run production components to market, it’s important to define what you hope to get from the relationship.
