Exploring the EDM Process
The EDM process, or Electrical Discharge Machining, lets me shape metal with precision using controlled electrical sparks instead of traditional cutting. I use it for intricate designs, hardened metals, and detailed mold-making. Wire EDM helps cut delicate profiles, while die-sinking EDM produces complex cavities with exacting detail. Key factors like electrode material, spark energy, and dielectric fluid affect results. From my experience, EDM offers unmatched precision, minimal stress on materials, and versatility with tough metals. Whether for professional manufacturing or intricate projects, understanding this process transforms how I approach metalworking.
