Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) is a controlled metal-removal process, having two electrodes (one being the work piece) separated by a dielectric liquid that is used to remove metal by means of electric spark erosion. The electric spark is used as a cutting tool to cut the work piece to produce the finished part of desired shape. This is followed by a pulsating electric charge of high frequency, which removes tiny pieces of metal from the work piece at a controlled rate. Read this post to... Read more

Today, very often we hear the term "sheet metal", which is nothing but metal rolled into thin sheets. Various products, such as automobile bodies, furnaces, gutters, roofing, and air conditioners are created using sheet metal. These products are created by punching, cutting, bending, or stamping sheet metal. When compared to some other machining processes, creating sheet metal parts is easier. However, there are various important design-for-manufacturability issues to consider. This post... Read more

CNC (Computer Numerical Control) is the advanced industrial equipment pre-programmed to meet different machining requirements. These machines produce a precise output based on the specifications of the work piece. There are various kinds of CNC machines used today. One of them is CNC turning machines, which are used to produce cylindrical parts. In these machines, a work piece keeps on rotating, and the cutting tool moves in a linear fashion. In this blog, we will discuss the cutting parameters... Read more
