Wire Erosion Basics

When machining a part in EdgeCAM Wire, you would typically go through these stages:

• Creating the Design Intent

• Editing the Design Intent

• Entering Manufacture Mode and selecting the Code Generator

• Cutting the Part

• Viewing and checking the Part

• Editing the Instruction List (if necessary)

• Generating CNC Code

In EdgeCAM Wire Erosion, you apply manufacturing information to a part in Design mode before entering Manufacture mode. This lets you see the manufacturing data on-screen, so that you can easily modify the profile elements to produce the form you want.
