R&D World magazine has named MSC MillMax a 2021 R&D 100 Award winner under the Software/Services category.
Introduced in 2020, MSC MillMax combines the knowledge and insight of MSC Industrial Supply Co.’s team of professional metalworking specialists with exclusive impact-testing equipment and software to improve the milling performance on Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machine tools.
