Hybrid Machining of Thick Metal, PCM Plus Laser Cut
Hirai Seimitsu Corporation which has a nineteen year history
in the PCM Industry as one of the leading job shops, has
successfully developed a new hybrid machining technology for
thick metal parts combiningPCM with laser cutting. If this metal
part is machined by PCM alone, the machining cost and
accuracy of dimensions will not satisfy the design requests. Ii
this metal part is machined by traditional machining, the
machining of the cavity area will be difficult and excessively
costly.
