Wire EDM is a technique that uses an extremely thin wire to machine with high precision, similar to the approach of fret sawing. This method is excellent for creating complex 2D shapes and angled surfaces. In addition to its high accuracy, wire EDM is often a more cost-effective alternative to CNC milling, especially for intricate details.
Sinker EDM uses a graphite or copper electrode to remove material through a thermal process, enabling the creation of unique shapes, such as square holes or complex contours, in hardened steel. This technique is particularly effective for applications where traditional machining methods fall short in terms of precision and capabilities.
