that normally would be on third-party cards have been moved into the core CNC, producing dramatic improvements in perfor- mance. Simply put, when in the middle of a tapping cycle, for example, UltiMotion lets the user dynamically adjust the cycle while it’s in operation. The Hurco control gives the user
both conversational programming and standard NC that supports ISO/EIA stan- dards, which means the user can take any Fanuc program or G code program and run it on fully Fanuc compatible Hurco machines. This versatility is espe- cially important to shops that run a high mix of parts, because it allows the user to approach each job in the most efficient way that increases productivity, whether they are using NC, conversational, or both control strategies.
3D Printing and Milling Produce Metal Parts
The latest addition to manufacturing metal parts combines 3D printing with milling. The SonicLayer 4000 from Fa- brisonic LLC (Columbus, OH) combines a three-axis milling head with ultrasonic additive manufacturing (UAM) capabil- ity in a mid-size fully automated 3D printing machine that can create deep slots, hollow, latticed or honeycombed internal structures in metal components and other complex geometries that can’t be made using conventional subtractive machining processes. The SonicLayer 4000 is a mid-sized
machine with 2500 lb (1134-kg) load capacity, positioned in between the SonicLayer R200 for universities and R&D and the SonicLayer 7200 which has a load capacity of 5000 lb (2268 kg). The SonicLayer 4000 features a three-axis CNC mill with dimensions of 40 × 40 × 24" (1016 × 1016 × 610 mm) and a 25-hp (18 kW) 8000-rpm spindle for machining near-net-shape
parts that are produced by the UAM 3D printing process to produce final parts. 3D printing with the SonicLayer machines (see video at
http://www.fabrisonic.com/video.html) is produced using
