Ideal when sharp and square cuts are required. Wire cut EDM is a non-contact process in which a fine wire creates an electrical discharge with the workpiece, cutting without touching. It machines intricate details like cogs, keyways, and gears into any conductive material, without any burring or rounded corners associated with CNC milling. Simply program your design and watch as the sparking wire chips away at the metal, microns at a time.

Perfect for producing complex cavities in metal, spark erosion EDM (or sinker EDM) works on a similar principle to wire cut EDM, but instead of a fine wire, a custom tool is machined in the shape of the desired cavity. Typically made from graphite, tungsten or copper, the tool is slowly lowered into the workpiece, creating thousands of sparks per second at a consistent spacing that creates a custom concave cut.
Don’t risk that sinking feeling, get it done right first time with us. Send a message or book in to chat about your project.
Whether you’re testing a new product, need a one-off part for quick fix, or even want to test the quality of our work, we get that not all jobs require big outputs.
Regardless of quantity, our CNC machining services always deliver on quality. Enjoy peace-of-mind precision engineering, knowing that no matter how small the production run, your custom piece will be machined with the utmost skill and care.

The turnaround time for your CNC machining job depends on a variety of factors, including:
Our in-house CNC programming and operating expertise, coupled with time saving features of our machinery, enables us to quickly carry out CNC machining processes. We pride ourselves on offering a quick turnaround, depending on our existing workloads.
CNC machining stands for Computer Numerical Control machining. It is a manufacturing process that uses pre-programmed software to control the movement of machines and tools. These machines use a computer-controlled system to precisely cut, shape, or drill materials.
CNC machining offers several benefits over traditional manufacturing methods. For example, it can increase production efficiency, reduce costs, and improve product accuracy.
There are several types of CNC machines, each with its own specific functions and capabilities. Some of the most common types of CNC machines include milling machines, EDM wirecut machines, spark erosion EDM machines and CNC lathes.
CNC machining has many applications across various industries. It is commonly used in the manufacturing of automotive parts, aerospace components, medical devices, and consumer products, among others.
A few key industries that rely on CNC machining are:
Wire Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM), also known as wirecut EDM, is a manufacturing process that uses electrical sparks to cut and shape metal workpieces with high precision.
In wirecut EDM, a thin metal wire is fed through the workpiece, and an electrical discharge is created between the wire and the workpiece. The discharge erodes the workpiece material and cuts it into the desired shape. The wire is constantly fed through the workpiece to maintain the cutting process.
The wirecut EDM process is commonly used to cut intricate and complex shapes in hard and brittle materials, such as metals, ceramics, and composites. It is particularly useful for creating moulds, dies, and other tooling components that require high accuracy and surface finish.
Wirecut EDM is a non-contact process, meaning that there is no physical contact between the cutting tool and the workpiece, which allows it to produce highly intricate and delicate shapes with minimal distortion or stress on the workpiece.
Spark erosion EDM, also known as sinker EDM, is a manufacturing process that uses electrical sparks to remove material from a metal workpiece.
In spark erosion EDM, an electrode made of conductive material is brought into close proximity to the workpiece, and an electrical discharge is created between the two. The electrical discharge generates intense heat that melts and vaporises the workpiece material, which is then flushed away by a dielectric fluid. The process is repeated multiple times, with the electrode and workpiece being gradually brought closer together until the desired shape and depth are achieved.
Spark erosion EDM is commonly used to create complex and precise shapes in hard and tough materials, such as tool steel, tungsten carbide, and titanium. It is particularly useful for creating dies, moulds, and other tooling components that require high accuracy and surface finish.
