What is EDM machines?

Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM), also known as spark erosion, spark machining, die sinking, wire burning or wire erosion, is a manufacturing process whereby a desired shape is obtained using electrical discharges (sparks). Material is removed from the workpiece by a series of rapidly recurring current discharges between two electrodes, separated by a dielectric fluid and subject to an electric voltage. One of the electrodes is called the tool-electrode, or simply the 'tool' or 'electrode', while the other is called the workpiece-electrode, or 'workpiece'. EDM is commonly used to machine hard materials or those that would be difficult to machine with traditional techniques.

What other technologies are related to EDM machines?

EDM machines Competitor Technologies

CNC mills are a subtractive manufacturing process which, similar to EDM, can be used to create parts with complex geometries. They compete with EDM, particularly for less hard materials and simpler geometries, due to generally faster machining times.
