Modularised multi axis pulsed-ECM machine and metal coated polymer cathode development

现有技术的电化学机器（ECM）是：（1）高成本;（2）单轴;（3）非模块化的，即，不能实现附加的轴模块和相关联的轴承轨道/齿轮，从而限制了可以由单个ECM机器制造的部件的多样性范围。(4)目前的操作浪费了昂贵的材料，因为在达到最终公差之前制造了2-3个固体金属阴极。上述问题影响了小公司投标利润丰厚的制造合同的能力。保持竞争力。我们的目标是设计新颖的方法，以更高的精度制造具有复杂几何形状的高质量部件，公差更小。优点：（a）部件制造的交付周期短;（B）材料浪费极少。

Current art electrochemical machines (ECM) are:(1) High cost;(2) Single axis;(3) Not modular i.e. additional axis modules and associated bearing rails/gears cannot be implemented limiting a diverse range of components that can be manufactured from a single ECM machine.(4) Current operations waste expensive material as 2-3 solid metal cathodes are manufactured before final tolerance is achieved.The above issues impact the ability for small companies to tender for lucrative manufacturing contracts. And remain competitive.We aim to engineer novel methods to allow high quality components to be manufactured with intricate geometries to smaller tolerances with greater precision.BENEFITS:(a) Low lead-time component manufacture; and(b) Very little material wastage.
