Fabrication of micro electrode array using WEDM

Now days there are different technologies in machining processes. Among all those Wire Electric Discharge Machining (WIRE EDM) plays a key role in machining. Wire EDM is widely used in production, aerospace/aircraft, medical and virtually all areas of conducting materials. The main objective of this work is to fabricate different micro arrays and electrodes using micro WEDM process. Miniaturization has become a prime issue for modern manufacturing industries. The main advantage of miniaturization is reducing the production cost, time, material, volume and weight. This technique is used in various area like automobiles, aerospace, electronics, medical devices, etc. This miniaturization technique is mainly achieved by non-traditional machining processes and micro machining. Some of the non-traditional machining processes are water jet machining, abrasive jet machining, ultrasonic machining and wire electric discharge machining processes.
