Real-time on-machine observations close to interelectrode gap in a tool-based hybrid laser-electrochemical micromachining process

A tool-based hybrid laser-electrochemical micromachining process involves concurrent application of two process energies i.e. electrochemical and laser in the same machining zone by means of a hybrid ...

Operando evaluation of passivation phenomenon during ECM/Laser-ECM: direct and on-machine evidence of passivation evolution

The performance of electrochemical micromachining (ECM) is compromised when processing highly passivating materials like Ti6Al4V, which can be improved through hybrid laser-ECM (LECM) which ...

A Guide to Electrochemical Machining, Part 3

Manufacturers are under pressure to change, to produce parts and systems that are smaller and lighter, and to do it with lower capital and operating costs – among other idealistic demands. Ideals are ...

Simple Mods Turn 3D Printer Into Electrochemical Metal Cutter

We’re not aware of any authoritative metrics on such things, but it’s safe to say that the Ender 3 is among the most hackable commercial 3D printers. There’s just something about the machine that ...
