MC Machinery opened its doors to customers on June 4 to showcase its wide range of machining and fabricating technologies, including a metal laser sintering hybrid milling machine and fiber laser cutting technology.
Paul Shin, president of Paragon Systems in Concord, ON, and Don Ham, vice president at the company, were interested in the hybrid additive machine, the Lumex Avance 25 from Matsuura Machinery Corp. The hybrid machine integrates metal laser sintering, an additive manufacturing process, with a milling machine in a single platform. Shin says the technology could be a good fit for his company, which specializes in low volume protoype manufacturing, product design and manufacturing of testing equipment.
