What is Wire EDM?

Wire EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining) is a machining process where a thin, electrically charged wire is used as an electrode to cut through conductive materials. The wire erodes the material by creating a series of sparks. It's commonly used to create intricate shapes and fine details in parts made from metals, alloys, and other conductive materials. It's used in die making, mold making, and prototype manufacturing, and can create very precise cuts. The work piece must be conductive to be cut by Wire EDM.
