nice , but remember there are two separate pieces of metal that must be machined separately. It's not like the "cut out " piece is just sliding back in with zero tolerance. I know most people know this, but for some people they do think it's just the cut out piece being slid back in .

Cnc kitchen just did a video at a maker fair that someone had a desktop edm. It was made out of common 3d printer parts so it should be affordable when they make it available to the public.
@@polychoronPeople (private and companies) use this process along with 3D printing to make firearms and related accessories like suppressors. Suppressors especially are illegal to own without paying for a $200 tax stamp and having a Federal Agent approve ownership.

A common “joke” is that if you make the ATF mad by having some fancy toy you aren’t supposed to (full auto, suppressor, short-barreled rife, etc.) they will shoot your dog. And since the wire EDM gives the ability to make complex designs, like modern suppressors have, he was making a joke that one could use this tech to make illegal suppressors.

Because EDM (Electric Discharge Machining) is just super satisfying, as are its results. The technique you are seeing here is wire EDM: an electrically charged wire is pulled through the steel with arcs forming that erode away at the material. The voltage is specifically adjusted to only allow for a specific arc range and every conductive material within that radius around the wire gets eroded off. The machine is CNC guided and allows for extremely precise machining.

@@ChanceandChoicethere's only so much one can learn without access to the actual machine. Theory can teach you the basics, sure, but if you're actually in front of the machine it tells you so many things with how it looks, sounds or smells. It tells you if you're too fast or too slow, if you need more cooling or stabilization or if your part isn't clamped down correctly.
My tips: (1) Learn CAD/CAM. Bobcad is popular. Lots of online tutorials. (2) buy a small milling machine and CNC control box with xyz control. Maybe a few grand total. Great way to get familiar with G-code and machining basics. (3) When ready, go to waterjet instead of Wire EDM. They are cheaper to run, and use far less electricity. $20k or so.

The first segment is misleading. Those are two different cuts of metal. Not the same with a hole punched out. It doesn't matter what material, what thinness, what technique. There will always be missing material from the cut. Nothing's perfect.
The way these edm process vids show the pieces fitting together it gives someone, who doesnt know wtf is happening in the vid, the perception that it was all cut at the same time from one piece in one pass. @@Martin-xh1hd
Just to be clear, that rocket part looking thing was a metal 3d print that they cut in half with the wire EDM, it was not created on this machine, wire EDM is often used to remove metal 3d prints from build plates, in this case they were using it to cut it in half to show off how metal 3d printing can create internal structures in a way that really no other type of manufacturing can.
Okay but that compliant mechanism made out of METAL at the end? That's actually incredible. Curious to know how it would hold up compared to plastics and polymers in a similar use case.
FYI - this is a thin strand of wire, electrified, run from one reel to another - like a band saw. Where is lit up, to look like a "laser", is where the wire has made contact with the piece being cut. Items that slide together need to cut two items A. The positive side and B. The negative side. A. Is the shape and B. Is the block that the shape slides into. In this video there are complex 3d printed metal items being cut in half.
@@jollymycology6391EDM means electric discharge machining and it works by an electrode made of material that won’t disintegrate touching the material which is basically burnt off (doesn’t actually burn because it’s submerged in a solution but it erodes and settles in the tank)
The wire doesnt touch the material the electrical spark jumps from the wire to erode the job it would be in short circuit and the machine would stop if the wire was in contact with the job
Should be zero CLEARANCE, but it’s not even that. They may be very, very small clearances, but not zero, or you would have to push the parts together with a hydraulic press.
Love how it completely disappears & reappears. I wonder what the practical usage possibilities would be tho? (Aside from machinery) like a secret room or safe
