Before the Industrial Revolution of the 18th century, hand tools were used to cut and shape materials for the production of goods such as cooking utensils, wagons, ships, furniture, and other products. After the advent of the steam engine, material goods were produced by power-driven machines that could only be manufactured by machine tools. Machine [...]

EDM wire cutting uses a metallic wire to cut a programmed contour in a workpiece. Extrusion dies and blanking punches and various other forms of jigs and fixtures are often machined by wire cutting. […]
The EDM is derived from Electrical Discharge Machining. The EDM process as we know it today started in 1770 with the observations of Joseph Preistly. He noticed that electrical discharges had removed material from electrodes used in his experiments. This is also known as electro-discharge erosion. Later on in the 1940's Soviet researchers developed a [...]
