Molds can be produced from a single
block of metal rather than using a group of sub-inserts, providing better integrity for the mold build, reducing mold maintenance, and simplifying mold design.
Now, with two computer-numeric-control machines from Boeing, the sophistication will be a boon to the students, who will learn how to carve a
block of metal into anything from a simple bracket to a bust of Abraham Lincoln using the machine's high-speed cutters.
These manifolds, which house the cartridge for its installation in various types of machinery and equipment, can be relatively simple, containing just one or two cartridges, or enormously complex, sometimes including up to 25 or 30 cartridges in a single
block of metal.
"Mechanically separated meat is a paste produced by compressing carcasses, much like a used car is crushed into a dense
block of metal," he explains.
A proprietary process creates a
block of metal that contains 15% empty space in the form of tiny interconnecting channels.
Despite being described as a mid-size sports utility vehicle, the Nitro looks a huge
block of metal from the front - very different, very American.

So rugged are their designs that they look as if they have been cut out of a single
block of metal.
Conventional moldmaking is a subtractive process that starts with a
block of metal and removes material until what remains is the desired shape.

It takes engineers seven hours just to make the chassis from the
block of metal.
