St. Paul, MN (March 5, 2019) — Matsuura was recently named as a 3D Printing Media Network ‘Top Ten Hybrid Company.’ According to Davide Sher, senior analyst for US-based firm SmarTech Publishing focusing on the additive manufacturing industry, Matsuura was the very first company to implement a subtractive process combined with an additive powder bed fusion (SLM) process. Matsuura is a recognized market leader in the field of automated multi-pallet, multi-axis and multi-tasking CNC machine tools and their associated manufacturing process solutions.
For over a decade Matsuura has been developing the LUMEX Avance-25 – the world’s first 3D Printing, Metal Laser Sintering Milling Hybrid CNC machine tool – a truly innovative platform in Net Shape Form and Additive Manufacturing – with the integration of a proven Matsuura high-speed milling spindle for subtractive machining processes.
The ability to “grow” a metal component in layers with complex internal features, and to mill those internal features as the layers are added to give a perfect surface finish, makes the LUMEX Avance -25 a distinctive and remarkable production machine tool – offering designers and manufacturers a route to designing what they can imagine, and not be limited by the restrictions of their current production methods, strategies and machines.
The LUMEX Avance-60 is the second machine in the series, offering end users the same unlimited hybrid production possibilities of the LUMEX Avance-25 though with a much larger internal capacity and working envelope.
