What Is Waterjet Cutting?
Leave a CommentWaterjet cutting is a manufacturing process where highly pressurized water is fired through a ruby or diamond nozzle into a mixing chamber. The pressure makes a vacuum and pulls garnet sand into the stream, which is then shot at the object being cut. The sand particles wear down, or cut, the material. Waterjet cutting is […]
Wire Electrical Discharge Machining Machined Parts for Medical Devices
Leave a CommentPatient lives and well-being depend on high-quality and reliable medical equipment. Advanced medical device manufacturers comply with high standards and have no margin for error when machining medical components. Manufacturers rely on medical machining, a type of CNC machining for medical devices that can produce micro-medical components and parts. However, small-scale and micro-machining can challenge […]
Wire EDM Cutting vs Laser Cutting
Leave a CommentThere are many techniques, technologies, and methods for cutting and shaping components during manufacturing, and many of these methods utilize similar functions to create components. These similarities can make it challenging to determine which technique is best suited for your particular application. For example, wire EDM cutting and laser cutting are very similar in that […]
Wire Electrical Discharge Machining Cutting for High-Quality Finishing
Leave a CommentElectrical discharge machining, or EDM, is a precision manufacturing technique that uses electricity to shape metal workpieces. This method uses brass wire to create sparks that vaporize the metal they contact. In wire EDM, the electrode is a length of thin single-strand wire that, when applied continuously, generates clean cuts with a smooth, high-quality surface […]

3 Reasons Why Water Jet Cutting is the Right Choice for Your Next Metal Fabrication Project
Leave a CommentWater jet cutting is a fabrication process that relies on the principles of erosion. It involves pressurizing water—sometimes mixed with abrasive media (e.g., garnet)—to up to 392 MPa and projecting it from a small-bore nozzle. The result is a high-pressure, high-speed stream of water (i.e., water jet), which can be used to cut a wide […]
Laser Cutting vs. Water Jet Cutting
Leave a CommentCutting is an important step in nearly every manufacturing project. It makes raw material easier to handle and helps it achieve the proper shape and size. There are many cutting methods available, each of which has distinct advantages and disadvantages that make it suitable for different applications. Two of the most commonly used processes to […]
How Does Wire Electrical Discharge Machining Work?
Leave a CommentWire electrical discharge machining, also known as wire EDM, is a contact-free machining method that uses a thin metal wire to conduct an electrical current. The current creates sparks, which are used to accurately cut a workpiece into the pre-programmed design. At South Shore Manufacturing, we offer high-quality wire EDM services to meet the needs […]
