Or perhaps not, if this 3D printed 4-axis wire EDM machine catches on. It comes to us from [John] at Rack Robotics and is built around the Powercore EDM power supply that we’ve previously featured.

Imagine this EDM wire mounted like a 3D printer head, but with an extra axis or two for rotation or perhaps as an end effector of a robot arm, then having it scult from a solid block of metal.

GF MACHINING SOLUTIONS unveiled its new AgieCharmilles CUT P Pro series wire-cutting EDM machines at EMO Milano 2021, designed to increase productivity and availability for a range of applications.

The RoboCut α- CiC wire EDM minimizes distortion, with new discharge devices that improve surface roughening capabilities while maintaining high cutting speeds. METHODS MACHINE TOOLS recently added ...
