Wire EDM

Acacia Machining

Wire EDM is a precise non-contact subtractive manufacturing process that uses an electrically charged thin wire with a dielectric fluid to cut a metal part into different shapes.

It can create complex shapes with high levels of accuracy and intricacy. It also provides for incredibly smooth finishes. The Wire EDM is also highly versatile in the hardness and conductivity of the metals it can cut.

It is a favored technique in industries requiring meticulous and intricate parts fabrication. It is ideal for prototyping, medical and military components.

Benefits of Wire EDM

Prototyping

Simple or complex shapes or patterns that would be challenging to produce with conventional cutting tools.

CNC-controlled cutting patterns can be completed quickly

High dimensional accuracy for close-fitting parts

Smooth finishes, minimal burrs

Custom tooling is generally not needed
