Electrical Discharge Wire Cutting uses the same fundamental principles of material removal as EDM [electrical discharge machining], but uses a travelling, small-diameter wire as the electrode. The wire travels from a supply spool, through the workpiece, and on to a take-up spool. The workpiece is held on a table whose movements can be directed to create the desired shape of the part. Numerical control of CNC [computer numerical control] is often used to direct table movement. ... EDWC, like EDM, uses the thermal energy of a spark to remove workpiece material. 1, record 13, English, - electrical%20discharge%20wire%20cutting
