In how many of the following applications, wire cut EDM can be used?– Manufacturing of progressive, blanking and trim dies– Extrusion dies– Cutting difficult to machine materials like hastaloy, inconel and titanium– Cutting narrow slots and keyways– Manufacturing of parts where burrs can’t be tolerated.

Wire-cut electrical discharge machining (WEDM) is a non-contact manufacturing process that uses a thin, electrically charged wire to cut metal.

The wire follows a programmed path, and heat from electrical sparks cuts through the metal. WEDM is often used to cut plates up to 300 mm thick and to make tools, punches, and dies from hard metals. It's considered a precise cutting method.
