The W&F linear unit from Horn USA has coolant management capabilities, and is compatible with toolholders with or without through-coolant ports. The machine-specific units accept high-pressure coolant without external high-pressure coolant lines for individual tooling positions that handle more than 1,000 psi. The use of high-pressure coolant helps prevent problems associated with stringy chips, improving chip management.

As shops look to expand capacity, they are increasingly turning to lights-out machining instead of adding machines, employees or shifts. By using overnight and weekend hours to produce parts with no operators present, shops are able to get more production out of their existing machines. But unattended machining can be risky — if a machine or cutting tool were to fail with no one around to quickly address the situation, the results could be costly.

In order to successfully transition a production process from attended to unattended machining, shops should reconsider every aspect of the process and optimize it for lights-out production. This new process might require new equipment, such as the addition of automation for loading and unloading the machine in the form of bar feeders, machine-tending robots or pallet systems. Machine monitoring software can provide data and insights into the process that can drive optimization. Chip and coolant management systems need to be robust enough to continue working through unattended shifts. But one aspect machine shops might overlook when building a lights-out machining process is cutting tools.

As the demand for faster production cycles continues to grow, the ability to produce high-quality parts quickly and efficiently has become increasingly important. High-speed 3D printing has emerged as a key solution to reduce lead times and increase productivity across industries. However, like any advanced technology, it comes with its own set of challenges. In this webinar, Forward AM will explore both the opportunities and hurdles of adopting high-speed printing with a particular focus on overcoming those challenges. It’ll start by discussing the fundamentals of high-speed 3D printing and how it differs from conventional 3D printing methods. It’ll then move on to the key factors that influence successful implementation, including the impact of materials, equipment and design considerations. One of the main hurdles in high-speed 3D printing is ensuring the right balance between speed and part quality. Different materials behave differently under high-speed conditions — and not all equipment is optimized for this process. Forward AM will showcase some validated materials and equipment that are proven to perform well under these conditions. In addition, the presenters will look at real-world examples and applications where high-speed 3D printing has been successfully implemented, highlighting the collaboration between designers, engineers and manufacturers. By the end of this webinar, you'll not only have a clearer understanding of high-speed 3D printing with FFF but also the practical steps and considerations needed to make the most of this cutting-edge technology. Agenda: Introduction The power of high-speed printing Know the process The practical side
