The machining of non-conducting materials is very difficult due to its brittleness and hardness properties. The electrochemical discharge machining (ECDM) process is the hybrid non-traditional manufacturing technology because it is combined with two processes namely electro-chemical machining (ECM) and electro-discharge machining (EDM) which can cut non-conducting and conducting materials. Hence from this view, the present work is undertaken to understand the development and manufacturing of ECDM setup based on Arduino. The 2D drawings are drawn by using AutoCAD software and 3D model is developed with CATIA software. The ECDM machine setup is manufactured accurately according to the 2D drawings and 3D model. The gravity feed mechanism is applied to workpiece materials and the speed of cathode tool electrode is controlled by using Arduino programming through the computer. The preliminary experimental trials were carried out and micro-hole drills on the glass and ceramic materials are successfully achieved. The present article provides fundamental and detailed building study of ECDM setup which includes information from the starting sketch up to the real prototype model. This work may be useful to make advanced machining setup as well as may solve the basic difficulties of new researchers in this field.
