LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill., February 14, 2019 – Shops that need a highly efficient digital solution to surface texturing for product design and mold making will gain new levels of design quality and productivity with the new AgieCharmilles LASER S series from GF Machining Solutions. This all-in-one texturing solution applies designs to challenging surfaces while it controls cost per part, cuts lead and machining times and significantly improves quality. Benchmarking tests show that in a single setup, the LASER S series not only reduces the risk of human error, it also slashes fine surface-texturing time for a wider range of parts and applications.

On the tenth anniversary of the introduction of the AgieCharmilles LASER family, the new AgieCharmilles LASER S makes difficult-to-realize designs easy to generate for more creative freedom and faster time to market, especially in industries such as automotive, information and communications technology (ICT) and packaging.
