Streamlining metal am build plate resurfacing
The aerospace and automotive industries are increasingly relying on metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) to expeditiously create weight-saving components with complex geometries, different material properties, and minimal setup times. To construct each part, advanced 3D printers melt, or partially melt, ultra-fine layers of metal powder on build plates.
Optical Glass | Rotary Surface Grinders
For job shops that prepare a variety of glass and crystal workpieces for optics and photonics-related applications, modern, automated rotary surface grinding equipment can not only achieve tighter tolerances in less time but also provide “endless possibilities” compared to traditional grinding equipment.
Metal & Alloys | Rotary surface grinders
Machine shops that grind metal or alloy surfaces flat to remove material or achieve a precise thickness now have “endless possibilities” to improve their precision as well as production speed and control with more advanced, automated units.

William Buckley founder of Quality Magnetics Corporation was looking for a great blanchard grinding machine and after much investigation and research he found the DCM machine tool grinder IG 280 SD.
Past Meets Present | Punch & Die Grinder
In the course of any equipment’s life, the opportunity for a company to upgrade it typically arises. For those businesses that opt to change equipment, they must decide whether to try something new or go with an improved model from the same manufacturer. Thomas Industries Inc., Wabasha, Minn., chose to do the latter with its punch and die grinder from DCM Tech Corp., Winona, Minn.
Sharpen Your Punch
Sharpening punch tooling consistently and correctly can help a fabricator save time and money in its punching operations. These suggestions can help a fabricator determine if the company is efficient as it can be with its maintenance program for punch tooling.
Nothing Standard About This Fab Shop
Rob Marelli left a family-owned metal fabricating company four years ago with the intention of doing things his way. Joined by a loyal group of managers and employees, he’s found success at Seconn Fabrication. In the short time the company has been open, it has earned revenues of $9 million.
