Precision Aerospace Plastic and Inconel Parts
An aerospace manufacturer was in need of two very different parts. One was a plastic coupling with a very thin wall and six precise holes. The other was an Inconel with a complex design requiring multi-axis machining. The manufacturer turned to Boyer to machine both of these parts. The plastic part had very tight specifications […]
Tiny Copper Fittings Machined with Wire EDM
A customer needed small copper fittings finished with a very precise groove cut into the tongue of a cylindrical part. Boyer Machine specializes in wire EDM fabrication. When a part has a very specific geometry, computer-aided wire EDM is used to get the exact detailed part, but also to provide a very clean finished surface. However, […]
About Wire EDM
Wire EDM (Electrical discharge machining), also known as spark machining or spark eroding, is a manufacturing process of creating a desired part from the metal sheet by using electrical discharges (sparks). The process uses a a thin single-strand metal conductive wire, like brass, along with de-ionized water allows the wire to cut through metal with […]
