Wire Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) is a manufacturing process that implements electrical sparks to shape or erode a metal. ⚡️
In this process, a desired shape is cut from metal when current discharges, or sparks, occur between two electrodes through the wire. Cuts are then made into the metal from the sparks, creating the desired shape and detaching it from the metal sheet!
Thorlabs deploys wire EDM in our production space, allowing for fully customized optomechanical components with tight tolerances. Learn more at thorlabs.com/newgrouppage9.cfm?objectgroup_id=6755&ytid=zOu-HhQLZ44.
