I used one of those in my car but it melted. :(

It's great when a 5 axis milling machine works this beautifully. I'm a high school senior and our engineering program has a normal (but miniature) turning/lathe. Today a couple of freshman managed to crash it within the first 10 minutes of class. Then I come here to see machines work spectacularly.

i found the nxtutorials(.)com website to have many interesting articles, tutorials, and models. I hope you find it helpful also!

notice its still doing the same blade over and over half way through the video and to the end

Im getting sea sick just watching LOL
-
I don't understand why they use wax, why don't use plastic?
like ABS, etc..
-
Unigraphics NX has got great strategies too.

Now that is precision....

easy, but F_ _ _ _ G expensive
can you tell me what cam program are you using ?

@elmoukha in this example, Hypermill.

That machinable wax is great for testing programs and rapid prototyping. Problem is for what it costs you might as well use 6061 instead.

@sdvten yes, or in this example, it was for the investment casting industry, which obviously needed to be made of wax to then proceed with the investment casting process. But I agree. The cost is high. In this case,the cost would be higher. There are a lot of requirements out of titanium than just an initial machining process. There's Hot Isostatic Processing, possibly chemical etching, NDT, Heat Treat, etc... The wax protoype eliminates the initial machining process. Saves a lot of money.
