The technology of EDM (Electro Discharge Machining) has been around for more than 100 years. The primary benefit of utilizing this method is that it does not require heat or pressure to cut through materials. There are numerous types of EDM machines which are offered in the market. Manual EDM is generally utilized for small jobs where there is no requirement for high accuracy. Automatic EDM devices are primarily used in large scale jobs where there is a need for high accuracy. One of the most crucial advantages of EDM over other machining procedures is that it is less prone to mistakes and can offer better precision. EDM devices are basically based on two technologies, wire discharge machining and electrochemical machining. The previous involves melting the metal and then removing it from the electrode through the action of electrical existing. The latter uses chemical reaction in between the electrode and the workpiece to eliminate the metal. Wire EDM is am...

Combining electronics, computers, robotics and control systems with mechanical engineering has produced a wide range of products, from smartphones to self-driving cars.   These products must be digitally modelled and developed in order to be created.   SOLIDWORKS is a computer-aided modeling and computer-aided engineering program that's very popular with mechatronics engineers. SOLIDWORKS  was created by Jon Hirschtick, a MIT graduate. Dassault Systems bought it in 1997.   There are many programs that can be used to create 2D or 3D designs. SOLIDWORKS can be used to create mechatronics systems, from start to finish.   The software is used at the beginning stage for planning, visual ideas, modeling, feasibility assessments, prototyping, project management, and design.   The software can then be used to design and build mechanical, electrical, or software elements.   The software can also be used to manage devices, data automation and cloud services. SOLIDWORKS software solutions can...
