The One-Process Machine (OPM) is Sodick's first foray into DMLS technology. It is primarily designed for use by moldmakers, with the ability to create conformal cooling channels within a finished mold. The OPM250L also enables machining workpieces before printing is complete, making it possible to alternate laser sintering and milling passes. In addition to its usefulness in producing conformal cooling channels, this capability also helps reduce the number of parts necessary to produce a mold, the company says. Sodick has developed Z-Asso, a dedicated CAM system, for this integrated machine. Z-Asso is capable of importing CAD data, generating laser and machining data, optimizing cutting along high-load areas, and simulating the process to accurately estimate produc- tion time. The machine provides further process improvements by enabling unmanned and remote machining. Sodick Inc. / sodick.com / Booth E-4802 Web Program Recommends Appropriate Speeds, Feeds and Tools for the Job RobbJack will demonstrate its web-based program that enables user to calculate speeds and feeds appropriate for specific machines and applications. By creating an account on the company's website, users can save results and information for specific jobs and retrieve the data at any time. A tool search function recom- mends the best tool for the application. RobbJack Corp. / robbjack.com / Booth W-2206
