Illuminating aluminum demos

Presented as a video supplement to Cutting Tool Engineering's July 2020 article that addresses the need for part manufacturers to work with toolmakers to learn about the wide range of tool options available today, "Illuminating Aluminum" offers two machining demonstrations from LMT Onsrud LP, Waukegan, Illinois, and RobbJack Corp., Lincoln, California.

ABS and ASA Advanced Materials

ABS and ASA Advanced Materials Open New Dimension for Large-Format 3D-Printing in the Automotive and Consumer Products Industries.
Both versatile and impact-resistant, BigRep's new ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is perfectly suited for mobility applications and a variety of end-use consumer appliances. Weather- and UV-resistant, BigRep’s new ASA (Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate) material is a robust, engineering-grade filament with high mechanical resistance, low shrinkage and superior layer adhesion, while also showing a greater heat resistance than even ABS.

Metal Recycling: From Trash to Cash | Shredding and Briquetting with WEIMA

WEIMA’s metal shredders and briquette presses are changing the way post-industrial metal scrap is recycled! Reducing the volume of metal turnings and chips can increase the ability to reclaim expensive coolants or cutting fluids, decrease transportation and storage costs, and make it easier to resell metal scrap to recyclers to be smelted and reused. Now processing a variety of alloys including aluminum, Inconel, steel, copper, brass, lead, magnesium, and more! Turn your trash into cash with a WEIMA briquette press!
