What is the Difference Between Wire and Ram EDM?
While the early concept of electrical discharge machining (EDM) dates back to the 18th century, modern EDM began in the 1960s with the emergence of the first wire electrode machines. Since then, EDM technologies have continually evolved to allow skilled craftspeople to machine precise and complex shapes that would otherwise be difficult to produce with […]
Is Your Defense Part Material Too Difficult to Manufacture?
Tight tolerances, thin walls, complex configurations, and visibly perfect finishes are among the chief defense manufacturing challenges. Still, nothing can ground a project liftoff faster than a difficult-to-manufacture part material. While straightforward materials like aluminum and stainless steel generally pose few complications, dozens of other exotic alloys can create significant obstacles on the production floor, […]
Leading the Way With EDM
Have you ever worked with biomedical materials, in particular Trabecular Metal? Do you know what Trabecular Metal (TM) is? In the picture above, the TM is on the right, and a picture of the structure of bone is on the left. The, obviously, similar structures of the two, fosters the ability of the bone to […]
