    We just wanted to clarify for those who may be wondering, the cube in the video is not a product we produce for sale or sample. It was only used as a quick demonstration of the wire EDM system capabilities that we use to produce our in-house plastic injection molds.

      Wire edm has to cut on a strait line between two points. You can do simple curves like a cylinder but complex curves like a sphere arent its thing. If you need a complex shape in automated production i think you need a 4 or 5 axis.
