I have been told by Makino engineer that their machine doesn't sell much because of price, but also because of the effect of the particules in the oil (actually Silica) that have an abrasive effect on mould corner and most Mould Makers in Japan are insisting on the sharp edge. Small details are also affected.

In the case of Makino you also need to machine and polish the electrode. In the design we are working on rigth now we are using EDM in the air so no rounding of the corners or details fading and the Machine would be substantially cheeper than a Makino machine.

Our tool is thermo-formed Carbon. It is thermoformed in the Mould that need to be polish so no need for Electrode machining or polishing.

What about Diamond machining? do you have a machine manufacturer name I like to check this technology.

Thanks
