Wire Electrical Discharge Machining (WEDM) Services

What is Wire EDM?

Wire Electrical Discharge Machining is a manufacturing process where a very thin wire (.003-.012”) uses an electrical charge to cut through materials that conduct electricity. In Wire EDM, the wire does not actually touch the material, instead it has an electrical charge that does the cutting by causing erosion of the material through heat and flushing. This allows for an efficient method of creating very detailed and complex parts.

What can we do for you?

Working with any electrically conductive material up to 16” thick, Wisconsin Metal Parts, Inc. supplies wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) services for parts such as die and mold components, nozzles, keyways and actuators. In addition to tool steels, we are experts at cutting carbide, have equipment dedicated to cutting that material and can run 24/7.
