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.
