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

现有的电化学机器（ECM）存在：(1)成本高；(2)单轴；(3)非模块化，即不能实现额外的轴模块和相关的轴承导轨/齿轮，限制了可以从一台ECM机器制造的各种组件。(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要制造2-3个固体金属阴极。上述问题影响了小公司竞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，使高质量的部件能够制造出复杂的几何形状，以更小的公差和更高的精度。优点：(a)低交货期组件制造；(b)材料浪费很少。

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.
