Investigating the effects of electrochemical discharge machining (ECDM) on the dimensional accuracy and surface integrity of the PDMS microchannel
Article highlights The electrochemical discharge machining (ECDM) process was used to fabricate a microchannel on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) with the surface quality similar to lithography. Process is able to create the feature in much less time and cost, also achieving high depths (up to 1000 μm)...

| Summary: | Article highlights The electrochemical discharge machining (ECDM) process was used to fabricate a microchannel on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) with the surface quality similar to lithography. Process is able to create the feature in much less time and cost, also achieving high depths (up to 1000 μm) is possible. The effect of electrolyte concentration, rotational speed, feed rate, and machining voltage on the surface quality, surface roughness and dimensional accuracy was investigated in the PDMS micromachining. |
