What Is Wire EDM
Wire EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining) is a precision manufacturing process that uses a thin, electrically charged wire to cut conductive materials with extreme accuracy. The wire moves along a programmed CNC path while submerged in deionized water, where thousands of controlled electrical sparks erode the metal. This process produces intricate geometries, sharp corners, and ultra-fine surface finishes without mechanical stress or deformation.
At TiRapid, our advanced wire EDM machines achieve tolerances as tight as ±0.01 mm, making them ideal for complex parts used in aerospace, medical, and mold manufacturing. Because no physical contact occurs between the wire and the workpiece, even delicate or hard metals can be shaped flawlessly.
