Stories from the Field
EDM - A Brief History The origin of electrical discharge machining goes back to 1770, when English scientist Joseph Priestly discovered the erosive effect of electrical discharges. In 1943, Soviet scientists B. Lazarenko and N. Lazarenko had the idea of exploiting the destructive effect of an electrical discharge and developing a...
One of the most frequent questions in contract manufacturing is “Can you hold this tolerance?” Tolerances are a key deliverable on our precision machined products, so it makes sense that this would be a frequent question. But sadly, this question is often considered solely as a technical problem. In fact,...
Die-sinking electro-erosion, also known as sinker EDM or Die-sinking EDM, is a machining process to shape and form metal parts with high precision. It involves the use of electrical discharges, which materialize as sparks, to remove material from a workpiece. A shaped electrode, often made of graphite or copper, will create...
