“…Other prominent methods include wire EDM, drill EDM, and milling. [13,14] When it comes to tool manufacturing and dielectric fluid flushing [55][56], Micro EDM has a distinct advantage. However, it has distinct properties in tool design, discharge energy, and dielectric fluid flushing that set it apart from macro-EDM.…”

In the twenty-first century, a new and advanced technology is being developed: miniaturization of gadgets.Miniaturization of devices is necessitated in several fields by the development of micro-and nano-scale components. From sub micron to several hundred microns, these components offer a high tolerance for a range of technical materials. A few examples of these fields include: optics, electrical devices, medicine, biotechnology, and aviation. As part of this study, researchers looked at the most current advances in micro cutting, micro electrical discharge, laser, and focused Ion Beam Machining (FIBM) technologies. During the comparison of four distinct machining methods, other criteria such as the material of the work piece, the minimum feature size, the maximum aspect ratio, and the surface polish were also taken into consideration.

“…Current micro-EDM technologies primarily include die-sinking micro-EDM, micro-wire EDM, micro-EDM drilling, and micro-EDM milling [13]. The removal mechanism of micro-EDM is similar to that of macro-EDM, but micro-EDM has unique features in tool fabrication, discharge energy, and dielectric fluid flushing [55,56]. Unlike conventional macro-EDM, the application of micro-EDM is hindered by limitations in handling of electrodes, preparation of workpiece-electrode, and planning of the machining process [53].…”

Device miniaturization is an emerging advanced technology in the 21st century. The miniaturization of devices in different fields requires production of micro-and nano-scale components. The features of these components range from the sub-micron to a few hundred microns with high tolerance to many engineering materials. These fields mainly include optics, electronics, medicine, bio-technology, communications, and avionics. This paper reviewed the recent advances in micro-and nano-machining technologies, including micro-cutting, micro-electrical-discharge machining, laser micro-machining, and focused ion beam machining. The four machining technologies were also compared in terms of machining efficiency, workpiece materials being machined, minimum feature size, maximum aspect ratio, and surface finish.

“…In this non-conventional technology, the material is removed by discharging electric current generated in the gap between the tool electrode and the workpiece. This technology has many advantages, in fact, the workpiece is not subjected to mechanical deformation as there is no physical contact between the tool and the workpiece; it allows to manufacture complex shapes with very high accuracy [3,4].…”

The recent miniaturization of components in manufacturing has increased the production of lightweight and sophisticated systems in many different industrial fields. Micro Electro Discharge Machining is a technology widely used for these applications. Although it is well known technology, there are still a few research works which investigate the economic implications of this process. This paper reports a model to estimate µEDM-machining costs, including fixed and variable costs. The aim of this model is to estimate the overall manufacturing costs, taking into account production and manufacturing process, tool and workpiece information. A process-based cost calculation method is used for this purpose. The model was applied to two case studies based on the execution of micro holes performed on stainless steel and tungsten carbide plates using different electrode materials. The capability of the model was finally demonstrated.
