EDM wire cutting is a cutting process which uses a spark erosion wire to perform 'non-contact' cuts in metal parts. This process uses an electrical discharge that forms an arc between an EDM wire and a work piece to erode or remove metal in its path.
EDM wirecutting is commonly used by toolmakers to cut metal inserts or punch tools.
Because EDM wirecutting apples no cutting forces to the workpiece and applies little or no heat it can be used to cut very intricate, finely detailed parts in thin metals.
Most EDM machines are controlled by computer numeric control (CNC) and programming is accomplished directly off 2D CAD data or 3D models.
