nice , but remember there are two separate pieces of metal that must be machined separately. It's not like the "cut out " piece is just sliding back in with zero tolerance. I know most people know this, but for some people they do think it's just the cut out piece being slid back in .
@beaconblaster33 maybe it would still look seamless since it deforms uniformly-but any strain in the frame of such a door makes what may be the most stuck door possible with zero tolerance!
Ive been running EDMs for 15yrs and its cool to see how different metals cut, different lengths of time,and power setting differences each have and will work well together, and the intricate things you can make. love running these things👍👌
@@polychoronPeople (private and companies) use this process along with 3D printing to make firearms and related accessories like suppressors. Suppressors especially are illegal to own without paying for a $200 tax stamp and having a Federal Agent approve ownership.

A common “joke” is that if you make the ATF mad by having some fancy toy you aren’t supposed to (full auto, suppressor, short-barreled rife, etc.) they will shoot your dog. And since the wire EDM gives the ability to make complex designs, like modern suppressors have, he was making a joke that one could use this tech to make illegal suppressors.

Because EDM (Electric Discharge Machining) is just super satisfying, as are its results. The technique you are seeing here is wire EDM: an electrically charged wire is pulled through the steel with arcs forming that erode away at the material. The voltage is specifically adjusted to only allow for a specific arc range and every conductive material within that radius around the wire gets eroded off. The machine is CNC guided and allows for extremely precise machining.
@@ChanceandChoicethere's only so much one can learn without access to the actual machine. Theory can teach you the basics, sure, but if you're actually in front of the machine it tells you so many things with how it looks, sounds or smells. It tells you if you're too fast or too slow, if you need more cooling or stabilization or if your part isn't clamped down correctly.
My tips: (1) Learn CAD/CAM. Bobcad is popular. Lots of online tutorials. (2) buy a small milling machine and CNC control box with xyz control. Maybe a few grand total. Great way to get familiar with G-code and machining basics. (3) When ready, go to waterjet instead of Wire EDM. They are cheaper to run, and use far less electricity. $20k or so.
@@andywolanA much cheaper way to learn & play around with g-code would be to buy a 3D printer. Which would be a recommendation that I would use for anyone not wanting to drop $10k+
Bridgeport made a optical line tracer in the 60s and this example was how they showed how accurate it was with two pieces of metal fitting together with no lines. Whats old is new again.
The first segment is misleading. Those are two different cuts of metal. Not the same with a hole punched out. It doesn't matter what material, what thinness, what technique. There will always be missing material from the cut. Nothing's perfect.

I was an EDM operator. We made cardiovascular equipment pieces the size of grains of sand. Those darn things like to run off zero constantly at that small a size cut. Loads of wire issues too on our older ones. Now im an operations team lead but i still run EDMs when needed
Okay but that compliant mechanism made out of METAL at the end? That's actually incredible. Curious to know how it would hold up compared to plastics and polymers in a similar use case.
The crazy thing about those two machined surfaces, is that it has such a tight air seal it creates a vacuum and pulling the two machined surfaces apart actually almost sticks like glue. Crazy tolerances.

It's the way of the cycle. Each new generation discovers the new and rediscovers the old.
I’m sure they were aware of it, and this is the generational leap new technologies allowed.
Except the old is no longer hundreds of thousand to millions but obtainable by hobbyists
Is anyone ever mad when they discover that those satisfying sliding and thunk sounds are added in after?
Tolerance like that with that elaborate shape of interlocking would have to be exquisitely temperature sensitive.
