Wire EDM

Wire EDM Department

Wire EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining) is a manufacturing process whereby a desired shape is obtained using electrical discharges traveling through a wire. EDM is especially useful for producing prototypes, dies & molds, but it is becoming a common method of making production parts in the aerospace, automobile, firearms, medical and electronics industries.

Some of the advantages of EDM machining include:

  • Complex shapes that would otherwise be difficult to produce with conventional cutting tools.
  • Extremely hard material to very close tolerances.
  • Very small work pieces where conventional cutting tools may damage the part from excess cutting tool pressure.
  • There is no direct contact between tool and work piece. Therefore delicate sections and weak material can be cut without any distortion.
  • A good surface finish can be obtained.
