Meteorites, celestial remnants that hold invaluable scientific insights, present unique challenges in the realm of material analysis and cutting processes.

In addressing the need to cut various shapes from graphite plates with thicknesses ranging from 10 mm to a substantial 300 mm, the challenge of Complex Profile Cut became apparent for our client. Graphite, being a non-conductive material, rendered traditional EDM wire-cut machines ineffective. The utilization of a bandsaw posed its own set of challenges, including limitations in changing cutting direction and generating less-than-desirable shapes.
