Our EDM Capabilities

We offer two core electrical discharge machining technologies to manufacture intricate custom components, solving tough machining challenges for hard metals.

Sinker EDM machine spark eroding intricate cavity in hard metal block

Sinker EDM (EDM)

Sinker EDM, also known as cavity EDM, uses controlled electrical sparks to erode workpieces. It excels in creating deep cavities, sharp internal corners, thin walls and fine grooves on hard conductive materials. It is widely used for mold inserts and complex 3D precision parts where conventional cutting tools cannot reach.



Wire EDM machine cutting precise profile through thick metal block

Wire EDM (WEDM)

Wire EDM uses a thin travelling metal wire to cut workpieces via electrical discharge. It efficiently fabricates narrow slits, elongated holes, external contours and intricate 2D profiles. This process is ideal for thin, hardened workpieces requiring tight dimensional tolerance and clean cutting edges.


Advantages of EDM and Wire EDM

Electrical discharge machining is a non-contact subtractive manufacturing method for high-precision complex parts. Our in-house EDM services bring great value to your custom manufacturing projects.

Exceptional Precision and Accuracy

EDM and Wire EDM achieve micron-level tight tolerances for intricate geometries. Spark erosion delivers reliable accuracy for ultra-fine features that standard CNC machining cannot reach.



Machining Hard Conductive Materials

This technology works perfectly for hardened tool steel, titanium, carbide and hard alloys. It removes material without cutting force, no matter how hard the conductive workpiece is.


Complex Geometries & Intricate Features

Both processes are perfect for sharp corners, deep cavities, undercuts, micro holes and narrow slots. Sinker EDM handles complex 3D cavities while Wire EDM excels in sharp 2D contours.

Zero Mechanical Stress on Workpieces

No physical cutting force touches the part during spark erosion. It eliminates deformation and warping risks, making it ideal for ultra-thin wall and delicate fragile components.

Controlled Minimal Heat-Affected Zone

We precisely control discharge energy to limit the heat-affected zone. It prevents thermal damage and preserves material performance for heat-sensitive precision parts.

Wide Flexibility for Prototyping & Batch Orders

Our EDM solutions adapt to simple and highly complex custom parts. Flexible for prototype validation, small batch trial runs and volume production to match your project timeline.

Wire EDM Machining in Our Workshop

Wire EDM is a precision machining process that uses electrical discharges to cut conductive materials along programmed paths. It is particularly suitable for producing intricate profiles, narrow slots, and complex contours that are difficult to achieve with conventional cutting methods.
