EDM Network, Inc. in collaboration with I-Smart of Taiwan introduces the first pure water-based Fast Wire EDM. The new FC45HW Fast Wire EDM is a horizontal cutting, submerged Fast Wire EDM that cuts the build plate in the inverted position. This allows for the 3D metal printed parts and test coupons to gently float to the bottom of the work tank into a basket for easy retrieval. Fast Wire EDMs are perfect for the interrupted cutting of 3D metal printed parts, as the fast-moving wire does not require high pressure water for speed. Plus, in poor flushing Fast Wires typically cut 2-3 times faster than conventional wire EDMs.
