Wire EDM in Orange County, California

Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is a contactless machining method that allows for the machining of materials that are too tough for conventional methods. Instead of relying on physical contact to erode material, EDM uses sparking. There are three types of EDM: wire, small hole drilling, and die sinker. Wire EDM cuts through a workpiece, in a similar fashion to cheese wire. Small hole drilling is used to drill through and blind-holes. Die sinker EDM uses an electrode negative to erode an impression into a workpiece.
