It is also important to educate the market about the ECM
process and to show the advances that have been made to
bring it to the point where it is able to compete with the other
technologies (such as electro-discharge machining (EDM)).
In spite of the accumulated knowledge and number of
attempts to build test demonstrators, there is still no commercially
available system encompassing all the knowledge and
offering new micro/nano technology with revolutionary capabilities.
This is mainly due to the fact that the work on Micro
ECM to date has been sporadic and not well organized.
