bones and implants are required, as well automotive, and job shops.
The LUMEX Avance-25 metal laser sintering hybrid milling machine relies on one-machine, one-process
manufacturing of complex molds and parts by fusing metal laser sintering (3D SLS) technology with high-speed milling technology. The machine enables production of complicated parts through total manufacturing by digital engineering, using 3D data. The machine achieves the highest accuracy in part fabrication since metal powders are melted and sintered via laser, while surfaces are precisely milled at high speeds.
“Customers have known for a while that when machining on a lathe it’s nice to be able
to finish machining operations with milling.”
Leave Your Tool Right Where It Is
The Varia VX Quick Change System allows you to replace cutting tools effortlessly; leaving the tool in the machine, and your hands intact.
+ Utilizes three contact points to pull the Varia VX insert into position.
+ The release mechanism ejects the insert without excessive force.
+ Varia VX makes single-handed operation possible, minimizing your risk of injury.
+ The Varia VX single screw solution shortens tool change times to as little as 20 seconds.
+ Varia VX modular system allows tool preparation during machine operation.
+ No block realignment necessary after changing the Varia VX insert.
+ Varia VX has a shorter design than our competitors, making it more rigid and more durable.
+ Varia VX is the most economical quick change system in the industry; saving you time and money.
Faster, Safer – Just Better Varia VX
Dies and molds with very complex geometries can be fabricated in one piece with high accuracy, shortening lead time and reducing manufactur- ing costs to a half or even a third of conventional methods. Also, 3D cooling channels can be incorporated into molds in the single setup, thereby in- creasing cooling efficiency and enabling high-cycle injection molding with better than ever quality and precision, reduc- ing costs and improving efficiency. MC Machinery will demonstrate and support the LUMEX Avance-25 hybrid machine at technical centers located in Chicago, Los Angeles, Toronto, and New Jersey.
