SUPPLIER SHOWCASE 22 NOVEMBER 2 Additive Manufacturing Matsuura Machinery USA Inc. announces the completion of the Matsuura Lumex Laboratory and demonstration facility within the company's existing corporate head- quarters in St. Paul, Minnesota. The facility joins the three other Lumex Centers of Excellence locations in Japan, Germany and the UK. Often referred to as a "one machine, one process" cutting solution, the Matsuura Lumex series permits production of the most complex and challenging parts through total manufacturing by digital engineering using 3D data. Matsuura Machinery USA Inc., located in St. Paul, Minnesota, is the U.S. subsidiary of Matsuura Machinery Corp. in Japan. Since 1935, Matsuura has delivered unmatched excellence in high-speed and high-precision CNC machine tools. From full five-axis, vertical, horizontal, linear motor or multitasking CNC machine tools, Matsuura has been the forerunner in designing innovative technology and manufacturing solutions to a variety of industries around the globe. Matsuura Machinery USA Inc. provides the service, applications and technical field support that have always been the Matsuura standard for business.

Phone: 800-518-4584 Fax: 651-289-9701 matsuurausa.com The Matsuura Lumex metal laser sintering hybrid milling machine is capable of quick-turn production of custom parts, whether prototypes or small production run parts. 3D cooling channels can be incorporated into molds in the single setup, thereby increasing cooling efficiency and enabling high-cycle injection molding with better than ever quality and precision, reducing costs and improving efficiency. Differentiated original parts production with internal structures, thus far considered impossible, are feasible on the Matsuura Lumex Avance-25. Rising interest in the Matsuura Lumex products from aerospace and automobile industries searching for a machine capable of creating larger, high value-added parts prompted Matsuura to develop the Matsuura Lumex Avance-60. The Matsuura Lumex Avance-60 can process parts ranging to 600 × 600 × 500 mm. The machine is also outfitted with a high-power, 1-kW fiber laser that significantly reduces sintering time. The machine provides an increased speed of powder distribution to the tabletop surface along with a fully integrated automatic powder supply, collection and recycling system.
