In recent years, using high-strength steel and super-high-strength steel have risen because of weight saving. But these materials are usually difficult-to-cut material. So Wire Electrical Discharge Machine (WEDM) is widely used in electronics industry. In order to machine more complicate body, for example hemisphere, in WEDM, the 6-axis WEDM, in which work material rotating axis is added to the common 5-axis WEDM, was developed. In this research the path generation method for machining the rotating body by 6-axis WEDM is proposed and the rotating body using the tool path generated by the method is machined.
