Wire EDM Programming: A Complete CNC Guide for Machinists

Complete cnc programming example for machinists who work on a Wire EDM machine (Electrical Discharge Machining)

CNC Wire Cut Introduction

Wire EDM cutting, also known as electrical discharge machining, is a process that uses an electrically energized thin wire to slice through metal. Wire EDM cutting uses rapid, controlled, repetitive spark discharges from the wire to the workpiece, thereby eroding the metal away. The workpiece must be electrically conductive.
