Abstract

This paper introduces a new method for simulating the micro-EDM process in order to predict tool wear. The tool and workpiece are defined by NURBS surfaces whose shapes result from an iterative crater-by-crater deformation technique driven by physical parameters. The simulation method is validated through a comparison with experimental data. Different simulations are presented with an increase in computation accuracy in order to study its influence on the results and their deviation from expected values.
