University reports breakthrough in composites machining technology : CompositesWorld
Loughborough University (Leicestershire, U.K.) reported on July 2 that its researchers have developed a device that could change the way cutting, drilling and milling is done in composites manufacturing.
The technology involves a technique called ultrasonically assisted machining (UAM), which uses a specially designed piezoelectric transducer working in tandem with a traditional turning, drilling or milling machine.
