Cutting Dream Contest Award is hosted by Mori Seiki Co., Ltd. The Cutting Dream Contest is open to companies, schools and research institutions engaged in machining in Japan. It is intended to promote the exchange of information on machining technologies and techniques. These CNC experts show off their capability as well as their imagination by creating crazy parts. They try to hit the limited of the machines, tools and materials. And eventually, they proved CNC machining can do much more than we expected.
Please take this opportunity to take a look at the works produced with skillful techniques and unique ideas.
Egg Shell Art
Material：Egg Shell
Machinery ：NVD4000 DCG
Processing time: 140 Minutes
PEEK Machined tooth brush
Material：PEEK(high temperature resistance plastic）
Machine type ：NT4200 DCG
Remarks: To milling the brush in one piece is a super challenge due to the φ0.3mm×12mm brushes. The engineers have to sort out deformation, vibration, cracking and burrs.
Mini helicopter
Material: A5052
Machinery: Vertical machining center
Comments: The mini helicopters are assembled from three parts. The referent next to the helicopter is a grain of rice.
Characters on Acrylic plate
Material: Acrylic
Processing machine: NV 5000
Comments: The word “Snow” “Flower” stand out by cutting the V groove in the ellipse.
Ant
Material: A5052
Machinery: NV4000 DCG
Processing time：10 hours
Comments: The model was well-processed throughout each detail, the fitter worked perfectly, the degree of completion of the form was high.
Nozzle
Material： A6061 T6
Machinery ：MT-250/1000
Comments: The are three challenges: φ0.5 mm cutting in the front end, φ0.2 mm through the central hole and 0.2 mm wall thickness during the process.
Sharp Art
Material: A7075
Machinery: Vertical machining center
Comments: The challenging is how to make the uneven shape to be processed by high-speed machining center and CAD/CAM.
