Complex forms, such as hinges, may be produced with your punch press. Watch this video to see how the press forms the hinge with two tools. Eliminate secondary operations such as spot welding or riveting. Increase accuracy. Eliminate costs of specialized press brake or stamping tooling.

Welding has been around in some form or fashion since the 4th century A.D., but modern welding techniques fueled the industrial revolution and are crucial to many modern industries. Welding is a very broad term covering hundreds if not thousands of specific materials joining processes. The main welding processes are shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW/TIG) gas metal arc welding (GMAW/MIG), flux-cored arc welding (FCAW), submerged arc welding (SAW), electroslag welding (ESW), and lastly resistance welding.

In this video, I'll show you how to use a diode laser engraver to engrave wood spoons. We'll be engraving both hardwood and bamboo spoons. The laser machine used in this video is A3 EleksMaker Elekslaser laser engraver with the 2.5watt laser module that I bought from Gearbest. The software being used is T2laser. Although a diode laser engraver was used on this project, using a CO2 Laser machine would be a very similar process. ********************* How to Make Lasered Engraved Coasters: https://youtu.be/CPo6jwkSqLg Laser Cutting Veneer Snowflakes: https://youtu.be/Jvet6gD5350 Laser Cut Leaves / Laser Engraving Leaves: https://youtu.be/L6GhSj2_phI ********************* #LaseredEngravedspoons #LaseredEngraved #LaseredEngraving * Like me at Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MakeTechCreate/ * Follow on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/maketechcreate/

Conversion: For all our non-U.S. friends, 1 Thou is equal to .0254 mm.

As technology and computers have improved over the years, a new high-precision computer controlled manufacturing technique called CNC machining has spawned. CNC machines, or computer numerically controlled machines, are electro-mechanical devices that can manipulate tools around a varying number of axis, usually 3 or 5, with high-precision per instruction from a computer program. CNC machining is one of two ways that engineers, machinists, or makers can generate a physical part from a computer design file, with the other being 3D printing, known as additive manufacturing.

Learn what 3D printing is and how 3D printing works. In this video, we’ll explain the basics of 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing. 🔔 Subscribe for more 🔔 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1nzmktP1usjdqewrBDN_uQ 0:00 What is 3D printing? In this first part of the video, we’ll discuss what 3D printing is. 3D printing refers to a variety of processes in which 2-dimensional layers of material are deposited and joined, one upon the next, to form 3-dimensional objects. This process is also known as additive manufacturing. 0:21 How does 3D printing work? In the second part of the video, we’ll teach you how a 3D printer works. The 3D printing process always begins with a digital 3D model that is converted into an STL file. This model is then sliced by the 3D printer's software into thin, 2-dimensional layers and turned into a set of instructions for the 3D printer to execute. 0:38 Next, we’ll briefly talk about the different 3D printers such as FDM 3D printers, metal 3D printers and SLS 3D printers. 0:58 Finally, you’ll learn how long it takes for a 3D printer to print a 3D printed part and we’ll mention that a 3D print often needs post-processing after the 3D printing process is complete.
