While Wire EDM offers many advantages, it does have some limitations. One of the main limitations is the requirement for materials to be conductive, as the process relies on electrical discharges. Additionally, the cutting speed of Wire EDM is slower compared to some traditional machining methods, which can impact production time for large quantities.
Furthermore, the initial setup and programming can be time-consuming for complex parts, but this is offset by the high precision and efficiency achieved during the actual machining process.
