The five-axis milling process continues to expand and evolve as machine tools and tooling become more capable. As an example, I recently learned about a new workholding system introduced to the market ...

It’s easy to assume that not much has changed with face mills for a while. There’s been so much attention on other milling processes over the last few years, and face mills, or shell mills, were ...

What is Focused Ion Beam Milling? Focused ion beam (FIB) milling is a nanofabrication technique that uses a focused beam of ions to precisely mill, etch, or deposit materials at the nanoscale. It ...

Milling is a popular and effective top-down process utilized in the production of glass powders, with particle sizes ranging in size from the nanoscale to microns. This article explores a range of ...

The two basic cutting tool types used in metalworking are the single-point and multi-point designs. Fundamentally, they are similar. By grouping a number of single point tools in a circular holder, ...

Particle engineering using jet milling or spray drying can be used to obtain appropriate particle characteristics for inhalation drug products. For pulmonary drug delivery, particle size (specifically ...
