Why EDM versus traditional machining?
EDM Technologies uses the latest DP Technology Espirit CAD/CAM Software for our programming which gives us the ability to program complex 5-Axis geometry. We are able to accept various drawing files from our customers for quick programming.
EDM can form a large variety of metals which are too intricate for milling. Small holes, odd shapes, grooves, and cavities are advantages of EDM especially extremely hard metals i.e. titanium and carbide. Often EDM is ideal in servicing the tool and die and mold-making industry.
EDM provide Burr-free machining, low heat
penetration into the material hence not affecting hardness. It provides
very close tolerances and excellent repeatability In production jobs.
Wall Thickness
Minimum wall thickness (inches): 0.01 (over a 5” span)
Surface Finish
(micro inches) 16 RA achievable, 64 or higher, is typical and less expensive. The finish will have an ‘orange peel” appearance
