During the wire EDM process, a very fine metal wire is used as the electrode to cut along a predetermined path on the workpiece. The working fluid passes through the discharge zone between the workpiece and the wire, slowly eroding the workpiece. This method is particularly suitable for manufacturing complex two-dimensional profiles, such as cutting molds, metal parts, etc.
What shapes can be produced using a wire EDM machine?
Wire cutting or discharge can handle high-precision dimensions or areas that CNC tools cannot reach, such as internal right angles.
What types of materials can be cut with EDM at InstaVoxel?
Any metal material can be wire-cut/discharge processed, especially metals with higher hardness are easier to process. Relatively soft materials like copper and aluminum are relatively difficult to wire-cut/discharge process.
