EDM Network Wire EDM Features Four-Axis Cutting
The EDMMax 434W fast-wire EDM includes four-axis cutting capability that enables it to cut 3D support structures or other shop-related parts.
EDM Network Inc.’s EDMMax 434W is designed to be an economical, fast-wire EDM solution for 3D-printed metal removal on parts like the mold inserts above.
Among other applications, the EDMMax 434W enables users to optimally cut 3D-printed mold inserts from their build plates. The fast-wire EDM has a build plate size of 400 × 400 mm and includes four-axis cutting capability that enables it to cut 3D support structures or other shop-related parts; it uses a “reusable” 0.007'' diameter molybdenum high tensile wire.
