Is additive manufacturing a complement to the computer numerical control (CNC) machining used for “subtractive” manufacturing, or is it a competitor? Answer: It is both, as a cutting tool from Guhring demonstrates. The tool is an end mill for precise metal cutting. Tools such as this that are used for machining are typically also made through machining. But metal 3D printing was used to make this tool because contoured internal channels could be built into the tool for more effective delivery of coolant, making machining better. In this episode of The Cool Parts Show, we explore the overlap between additive manufacturing and machining, and we visit a shop to test the tool!

Is there any 3 D printer after any 3D scanner to scan first then work .?it's possible.
Wow nice one
BETTER THAN TV!! MORE PER WEEK!
This show is awesome! Thanks for the killer content. You're doing an awesome job at properly educating manufacturers on the value of AM.
Dear Peter Zelinski , thanks for sharing wonderful Video on 3D Printed End Mill Cutter Specially with Internal Coolant Channels , Please Share some videos on Copper Printing for Fins or Heat Sink and Exchanger Applications, Thank you once again Stephanie.
The whole markforged system costs 125k$. How many of these drills do they have to sell before Guhring can make their money back?
You guys have a terrific format: packed with information and presented so a layman can understand it. Well done. Based on how dense the information is and how polished the video and presentation are I'm predicting you put a lot of work into it.
This is so cool! I showed this video to my machining guy and I think now he has started to take us Additive engineers 'seriously'! Not sure if I missed it but how were the inserts added to cutting profile?
Are You Mia Khailfa's sister
Very interesting, with a lot of new methods shown.
And thanks for taking the time to prepare accurate text for the CC closed captions. It helped me understand what the guy from Guhring and the guy in the machine shop were saying, where the audio was not as good.
"It will cut. It will mill." Doug Marcaida, probably.
Thanks for adding this one – glad it worked out
Why does making it 30% lighter make it better as a cutting tool?
Question: End Mills are spun rapidly during its operation. AM process, however, introduces a not so balanced part (think surface imperfection). Wouldn't this create an undesirable vibration of the part during its operation?
