Lotus Formula-One achieve double podium finish with the help of wire erosion EDM
Kimi Raikkonen charged into 2nd position whilst Romain Grosjean finished an impressive 3rd place for Lotus Formula 1, in the 2013 Formula One – Korean Grand Prix. The Di-Spark Group provide Lotus Formula One with precision motor-sport components manufactured using wire erosion EDM (wire electrical discharge machining) and other high-tech machining processes such as spark erosion EDM, 5 axis machining and multi-task mill-turn. Wire erosion lends itself to the manufacture of highly stressed components. The hi-tech machining capability of wire EDM allows exotic and hardened materials to be machined with ease and without causing micro damage to the hardened material, unlike some conventional machining technologies.

Precision Motorsport Wire Erosion Machining, partnered with +GF+ AgieCharmilles
The Di-Spark Group & wire erosion machining partners, +GF+ AgieCharmilles work closely with The Lotus F1 team during critical development phases of motorsport components The Di-Spark Group utilise a suite of advanced manufacturing processes to manufacture complex precision parts – wire erosion machining being one of these processes. It has long been the case that advanced aerospace technologies have filtered into the arena of motorsport. This is definitely the case with Formula-One, and it could be argued that specialised technologies have been developed directly on the back of the F1 and in some cases, filtered back into aerospace – such is the technological charge of Formula-One. This of course creates an incessant demand for advanced component manufacture which mirrors Di-Spark’s interminable charge for innovation and constantly improved levels of performance.
