Basics

  • Part of the Open Source Digital Fabrication Construction Set
  • An electric discharge machining device (EDM)
  • Uses a thin wire, and high voltage electricity to precicely erode away material using the resulting plasma
  • Requires a wire feeding mechanism
  • Good explanation + Demo in this video at 13:26

Used For

  • According to This :
    • Ideal for low volume quantities of parts that require tight manufacturing tolerances.
    • Extrusion dies.
    • Blanking punches.
    • Metal and tool fabrication.
  • Also Really Small Stuff as shown in this video at 13:26
