Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is a machining process that discharges electric sparks from two electrodes on a metal sheet to detach the desired shape. Also called spark machining, it employs ...

If you’ve ever played air hockey, you know how the tiny jets of air shooting up from the pinholes in the playing surface reduce friction with the puck. But what if you turned that upside down? What if ...

A good example of a fine-hole drilling fixture is the Fine Drill module for GF AgieCharmilles’ Form 20 die sinking EDM. It's capable of deploying small-diameter electrodes as a System 3R high-speed ...

The Square One EDM electrode system was designed so that large EDM systems manufactured to work with larger electrodes don?t have to be adapted when smaller electrodes are desired. This rigid system ...

Thermoformed films are backmolded in the tool to produce the interior automotive switches in the foreground.Jatco produces dozens of graphite electrodes for each automotive mold it machines, making ...

Delcam's Die Wizard automatically finds a product model's split line and forms the two die halves. PS-Moldmaker generates a 3D, solid-model assembly of the mold and tooling. The approach is said to ...

The past five years have seen an increasing interest in the novel applications of electrical discharge machining, particularly from the Far East and Europe, with industry starting to see the potential ...

Many years ago [ScorchWorks] built an electrical-discharge machining tool (EDM) and recently decided to write about it. And there’s a video embedded after the break. The build is based on the designs ...
