Vacuum Brazing Meets Additive Manufacturing for Optimized Conformal Cooling
Renishaw and Liechtenstein-based Listemann Technology have joined forces to service moldmakers with the optimum conformal cooling solution. Depending on the application and desired reduction in cycle time, the companies now jointly design and create conformal cooling channels either through vacuum brazing, laser sintering or a combination of both to find the most suitable and cost-efficient design for their customers.

Take a Look Inside Deep Hole Drilling
Do I have your attention with this shot? It’s the inside of a gun barrel. What does that have to do with moldmaking? More than you think when it comes to deep hole drilling your waterlines, cross hole drilling, and deep pockets at compound angles, and on one machine instead of three—boring, five-axis machining and deep hole drilling in one accurate yet approachable machine.
