EDM
is one of the most accurate manufacturing processes available for
creating complex or simple shapes and geometries. EDM works by eroding
material in the path of electrical discharges that form an arc between
an electrode tool and the work piece. EDM manufacturing is
quite affordable and a very desirable manufacturing process when
low counts or high accuracy is required. Turn around time
can be fast and depends on manufacturer back log.
The EDM system
consists of a shaped tool, an electrode, and the part. The part
is connected to a power supply. To create a potential difference
between the work piece and tool, the work piece is immersed in a
dielectric (electrically nonconducting) fluid which is circulated
to flush away debris.
The cutting
pattern is usually CNC controlled. Many EDM machine electrodes
can rotate about two-three axis allowing for cutting of internal
cavities. This makes EDM a highly capable manufacturing process.

Some
common EDM machining services that we provide include: assembly
services, just-in-time delivery, prototype services, machine shop
services, short run services, high quantity production, CAD / CAM
support, and reverse engineering.
