We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "EDM Technology",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release CNC wire EDM expands tooling inserts range from
Agie Charmilles, which we summarised at the time by saying "Manufacturer of tooling inserts has invested in a wire-EDM machine tool to broaden the variety of inserts offered in polycrystalline diamond and natural diamond materials".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Advanced diesinking/wire EDM cell boosts cars from
Agie Charmilles: "A dedicated and high-capability diesinking and wire EDM manufacturing cell has been installed by a UK Formula 1 car racing team to help improve its performance in the 2007 season".
In January 2007, we covered the news from Agie Charmilles
concerning its Wire EDM and spark erosion EDM
- take a look at Formula One company invests in latest EDM
which says: "Latest EDM machines will give a Formula 1 racing car company improved machining performance - faster removal rates; increased accuracy and superior surface finish".
Take a look also at the news release from Agie Charmilles, Making hard metal tools and dies with wire EDM,
as well as EDM technology and consultation win purchase from Agie Charmilles,
and Large linear motor wire EDM introduced from Sodi-Tech edm.
