INTRODUCTION

EDM Wire Cut is a cutting procedure that employs the use of wire to cut an electric
conductive material. Our Technical Training Officer, Sir Mohd Zahrin, assigned us an
individual duty in this session to construct any design sized 40mm by 40mm using
SolidWorks/Catia Software. After finishing the design, we were required to transfer it into
Fanuc Software to construct a Wire Cut process programme. When the program's NC
data was completely generated. In accordance with Sir Mohd Zahrin's instructions, we
were to run the Wire Cut machine.

CONCLUSION
By the completion of this session, I will be able to recognise and describe the
principle of EDM Wire Cut, which is an electrically conductive material cutting method. I
can also use Fanuc Software to construct a Wire Cut programme. In addition, I am
confident in my ability to operate and manipulate a Fanuc Wire Cut machine..
