EDM Electrode creationCreating and using EDM (Electro Discharge Manufacturing) electrodes is considered a painful challenge by most mouldmakers because it is time consuming, slows down mould production and requires precision. Given the option, most toolmakers would rather mill the steel and avoid electrodes altogether. Nevertheless, electrodes are still required for a good portion of mouldmaking jobs with some moulds requiring many electrodes. Parts with narrow ribs and sharp internal corners are good examples for such cases. As a result, mouldmakers are constantly searching for processes and technologies to ease the pain of creating electrodes. Dedicated electrode design and manufacturing software is one such solution. Following are some strategies a mouldmaker can use to make the most out of using electrode design and manufacturing software.
