| Summary: | Near net shape is a concept that is widely used in the recent years to
address the issues of sustainability and resource optimization in the manufacturing
sector. Near net shape (NNS) processes are the processes that require least or no
post-processing to manufacture a product. Electro-discharge machining (EDM) is a
non-conventional machining process that uses spark erosion principle for machining
conductivematerial. If the tool in the EDMis a flexible metallic wire, then the process
is termed as wire EDM. Further to this, when the discharge energy, tool and wire
diameter, and the machined features are in micron domain, the machining technique
is termed μEDM or μWEDM. In μEDM/μWEDM, the resultant structure does
not require any post-processing to attain the final dimensional accuracy and surface
finish; therefore, these processes can be considered as NNS processes. In this chapter,
different applications of μEDM and μWEDM have been discussed as NNS process. |
