Where Manufacturing Meets Art

https://www.dom.riccobene.com/bio Something great happens when an artist discovers the right tool. Imagine Yo-Yo Ma cradling a cello for the first time, Steven Spielberg pressing record on his first camera, Serena Williams picking up her first tennis racket. Perhaps it felt a bit like that like when Dom Riccobene fired up his Freedom Machine for the […]
Using Cameras to Enhance CNC Accuracy

Innovation is what makes for excellence. At Diversified Machine Systems (DMS), we know that the moment we stop innovating is the moment we become irrelevant. And because the projects we tackle are constantly adapting, we know that we must be even more adaptive in our solutions. For a CNC machine, accuracy is a great place […]
Cutting Corners with a Tangential Oscillating Knife

At Diversified Machine Systems (DMS), we’re all about cutting corners. But before you quote us on that, let’s be clear—we’re talking about literal corners here. With a CNC machine, the kinds of cuts you make are as diverse as the projects you take on. Unique tasks require unique applications. That’s why DMS recommends our tangential […]
A Custom-Built CNC for Your Exact Needs

We’ve all experienced the frustration of making a purchase, only to realize that you needed something completely different. It could be a small hassle, like bringing home the wrong ingredient for a meal. Or it could be a much bigger headache: buying an expensive tool you can’t use—and can’t return. That’s why Diversified Machine Systems […]
Manufacturers Must Continue to Adapt to COVID-19

In the initial months after the outbreak of COVID-19, companies around the world rushed to respond. Most of the solutions were short-term fixes for a crisis that no one anticipated. But as we continue to look ahead to the ongoing challenges of COVID-19, we are in need of solutions that position us for long-term success—especially […]
Deciding if a CNC is Worth the Investment

A CNC machine is a big investment. At Diversified Machine Systems (DMS), we do everything in our power to make sure you get an even bigger return. In fact, we’ve found that most DMS customers see enough return in their first year of ownership to warrant buying a second machine the very next year. As […]
The Rise In Hybrid Manufacturing

Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, is on its way to dominating the manufacturing industry. Many industries have been noticing and embracing this. Per Gartner, the total “3D printing market will expand at 98.5% compound annual growth rate through 2020 and will be worth $17.7 billion in 2020”. With the rise in 3D printing, […]
Calibrating Your CNC Machine

A CNC machine is a finely crafted tool that needs correct alignment to function at its best. When a machine is not properly calibrated, the end product may have deformities, or the dimensions may be wrong. Even worse, a machine that is perpetually run out of alignment will have a shorter lifespan. This is especially […]
Regular Cleaning for a Healthy CNC Machine

With the outbreak of COVID-19, cleanliness has become a major focus of public concern. Things that should have been the norm—wash your hands after flushing, don’t cough without covering your mouth—suddenly took on greater significance. These daily practices matter. We are seeing in real time the life-changing effects of regular cleanliness—or the lack of it. […]
Why You Need a Post Processor for Your CNC Machine

When you’re preparing a new project with your CNC machine, you start with a design and end with a physical product—but it’s easy for things to get lost along the way. A design is created in the form of 3D or 2D geometry in software, but that geometric design needs to be converted into a […]
