Abstract

Micro-EDM, a non-conventional machining process, is one of the most promising tool based micromachining technique which has the capability to machine micro-components with almost negligible amount of cutting force. Recent applications of micro-EDM process are increasing at an impressive rate and an explicit outcome of multidisciplinary research effort on the subject matter. This paper presents an overview of micro-EDM technology and some of the recent applications.

Keywords

Micro-EDM, Tool-Based Micromachining, Compound Micromachining, Multi-Process Micromachining.
