[QUOTE="CoolHandLuke, post: 71535, member: 4850"] automatic disc replacement (fill the disc holders with blanks on an system that picks and holds blanks for milling, and places them in a position that allows you the user to cut the product from its sprues once finished) final finished unit should fit through a doorjam and occupy minimal floor space. i dont quite think 7axis robotic articulated arms are much more useful than 5axis milling, except where differentiating between 3+2 axis milling vs true 5 axis milling. an issue of semantics. but yes, modifiable parameters for adjusting speeds, feeds, cut rates, coolant flow, tool change... where we need to advance though is not with merely cutting tools and such; those may make the process easier for the average kid off the street... what i want to see is cutting in 3d with laserbeams or high pressure water or extreme pressure gas. this means cutting not out of a big blank, but cutting angles off of cubes. perhaps cutting finished sintered zirconia. maybe we should look this way and save us the sintering process.
