CNC Electric Discharge Machining (Die Sinker)

Introduction

Electric discharge machining (EDM) is process that uses electrical sparks to machine metals into desired shape. EDM is usually used for hard metals or those that would be difficult to machine with conventional techniques. Using Computer Numerical Control (CNC) technology, EDM process is made accurate and programming method can be simplified for effective production. This course focuses on EDM die sinker process where electrode is used to create cavity on the workpiece. Participants will have opportunity to learn the basics of CNC EDM die sinker process including operation method and programming.
