A method of manufacturing electrically conductive elements such as electrodes for EDM, ECM or other electro-machining processes comprises the steps of designing a digital representation of the element, making a three-dimensional replica of the element from an intermediate material, e.g. a polymer, based on the digital representation, and coating the replica with a layer of a good electrical conductor. The replica is made using a tool-less prototyping process. The method is faster and less expensive than conventional machining of copper or graphite EDM or ECM electrodes, especially those having an intricate shape.

Méthode de fabrication d'éléments conducteurs d'électricité, comme les électrodes, pour l'électroérosion, l'usinage électrolytique ou d'autres procédés d'électro-usinage. Elle consiste à : concevoir une représentation numérique de l'élément; créer une réplique tridimensionnelle de l'élément à l'aide d'un matériau intermédiaire comme le polymère, selon la représentation numérique; recouvrir la réplique d'une couche d'un conducteur efficace. La réplique est fabriquée selon un procédé de prototypage sans outil. Cette méthode est plus rapide et moins coûteuse que l'usinage classique d'électrodes de cuivre ou de graphite pour l'électroérosion et l'usinage électrolytique, spécialement celles qui ont une forme complexe.
