Experts of Wire EDM Services Helping You in Making Your Product More Marketable

Posted by Ainsley Aiken on January 21st, 2019

In the manufacturing industry, there are many factors to pay attention to, such as cost, functionality, and performance. In the field of product engineering and development, rapid prototyping services come handy as the CAD models can be converted into product prototypes.

What is wire EDM?

It stands for wire electrical discharge machining. It is a high-precision method, which is used for cutting any electrically conductive material. An electrically charged EDM wire is held between the mechanical guide, which forms one electrode while the material being cut acts as the second electrode. The electric discharge between the work-piece and the wire creates a spark, which cuts the material.

What are the services being offered?

1.    Rapid prototyping: All the small volume works require rapid tooling. Injection molding and pressure die-casting are some of the common post-machining processes. Some of the rapid prototyping services offered are aluminum extrusion, urethane casting, 3D printing, and CNC machining.

2.    Rapid Tooling: When manufacturing is carried out in a slim timeline, it is called rapid tooling. It decreases the time and cost of the product. This process is used for prototyping and troubleshooting existing problems.

3.    Low Volume Manufacturing: Low volume manufacturing involves processes, which produce functional components in small series by using silicon molds. With the process of vacuum casting, a room temperature vulcanization mold yields output in the range of 20-25 in engineering plastic material.

Benefits of the process of rapid prototyping

The existing production process had a number of drawbacks. The design engineers had to narrate their idea to the manufacturers, which was a time-consuming affair. But, with the introduction of rapid prototyping, the designers can have their idea in a physical form easily. The various parts can be produced very quickly as a result of which, the evaluation and the testing process can be conducted very fast. The rapid prototyping process can easily detect the details, so it will help in improving the product quality, correct any mistake which might have crept in during the designing process, and hence, the designer will get more time to finalize the product design.

Time-saving as well as budget-friendly services

These services are the most economical option if you are looking for a process of making prototypes. By contacting the service providers offering rapid prototyping services, you can save the time spent on the manufacturing process.
